The program supports cultural organisations transition towards more sustainable, resilient and future-focused operating models.
It is informed by the outcomes of J9’s pilot initiatives with Creative Partnerships Australia, Creative Australia and City of Sydney and extensive experience with the creative ecosystem across Australia.
The program combines strategic leadership, organisational assessment and executive coaching to support Chairs, Boards and CEOs in navigating change and implementing practical sustainability strategies. Using a proven, structured process, participants receive a practical road map for long-term sustainability, strengthened governance, diversified revenue approaches, increased organisational resilience through new operating models and business innovation.
The Cultural Sustainability Accelerator Program can be delivered to individual organisations or as a sector development initiative supporting cohorts of cultural organisations within a local government area or region.
Our masterclasses are constantly refreshed to respond to the cultural sector's immediate needs and longer-term opportunities. We cover essential topics from building new revenue streams to partnering with business and measuring impact.
Participants receive practical skills development and actionable strategies for new momentum.
