Omschrijving

Cultural institutions are under more pressure than ever-to justify their value, broaden participation, remain financially viable, and respond to complex social and civic expectations.

At the same time, they are often expected to do all these using structures, habits, and assumptions inherited from a very different era.

Culture System argues that the challenge facing the cultural sector today is not a lack of purpose, creativity, or commitment-but a lack of coherence.

This book introduces a systems-based way of understanding how cultural institutions actually work: how leadership, organization design, capability, capacity, governance, and public value interact-often unintentionally-to shape what culture becomes in practice. It shows why effort and goodwill are no longer sufficient strategies and why resilience must give way to institutional maturity.

Written for cultural leaders, boards, funders, policymakers, and practitioners, Culture System blends sector insight with organizational rigor. It offers a clear-eyed critique of familiar pressures-burnout, mission stretch, incremental change-while remaining deeply respectful of culture's values and civic role.

Through cultural leadership and practice-based insight, practical tools, and accessible frameworks, the book helps institutions move from fragmentation to alignment, from aspiration to delivery, and from survival to sustainability.

This is not a manual for managing culture. It's an invitation to treat culture as seriously as it deserves-as a system that must be designed with care-to remain meaningful, credible, and publicly trusted.
