ICG culturplan Art & Culture-departments turn into agencies, institutes into cultural enterprises. Nowadays, many cultural organizations have their own, modern management. Successful culture-managers also turn to consultants in order to be able to realize ever more ambitious plans. Man is usually the main focus of cultural organizations - this demands a special responsibility of consultants. In the 21st century, art & cultural management is a widely accepted way of leading and directing culture- and leisure-organizations. It is getting more and more clear that we do not talk about the administration of public services, but entrepreneurial acting. Therefore, legal forms are questioned, private partners are searched for, partnership and visitor-orientation is headed for. At the same time the question arises, whether state-run promotion of art & culture is appropriately managed. Anyway, it is ever less possible to pay for artistic freedom with tax-payers money.  ICG culturplan has accompanied this cultural change as long as we have been talking about art & culture- and leisure-management: Is it its own branch or just a variety of business-economics? In opposition to manufacturing companies or service-providers, the unique offers in culture- and leisure-organizations can hardly ever be compared. Managers in this branch need heart and intellect. This sort of client does not warm to a cool calculator. And an art & culture- and leisure-organization does not make friends with consultants, who neglect this dimension.  > Consulting for Art & Culture- and Leisure-Organizations < back
