Oakwood University W8 Reinvent A Museum Case Study Analysis

This week we will analyze a case study by Leigh Hafrey and Cate Reavis, titled Management Principles and the Washington, DC Public Schools (A): Choosing a Chancellor.

SUMMARY

In 1998, Jill Medvedow was hired as the director of Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art. Her mandate was to reinvent a museum that had no permanent collection, drew a mere 25,000 visitors a year, and had few members and almost no money. This case demonstrates how Medvedow was able to rebuild (literally and figuratively) a powerless organization by being disciplined, getting people to believe in an idea, and taking many risks.
