COSI

The Center of Science and Industry (COSI), in collaboration with the Ohio Museums Association (OMA), will enhance the strategic planning capabilities of three Ohio museums, representing small, medium, and large institutions. This initiative addresses the critical need for tailored strategic and partnership plans to drive sustainable growth and community engagement. Deliverables include detailed strategic and partnership plans for each museum and a publicly accessible Strategic Planning Toolkit to guide other institutions. Success will be measured through the completion and implementation of the strategic plans, increased community engagement metrics, and the adoption of the Strategic Planning Toolkit by other museums. Dissemination of results will occur through OMA's platforms, professional development workshops, and publications, ensuring broad accessibility and impact across the museum sector.
