From Data to Relational Direction: Evaluative Practices for Cultural Leaders
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity
Over six days, participants will engage in a dynamic, practice-based learning environment designed to build leadership capacity through evaluation and data strategy. Guided by hands-on labs, peer exchange, reflexive praxis and case studies, they will experiment with tools that support strategic decision-making, team engagement, and organizational learning.
The program emphasizes real-world application, encouraging participants to challenge assumptions and refine internal systems. By the end, each participant will leave with a customized roadmap to embed evaluative practices across their organization—advancing accountability, responsiveness, and long-term resilience in the cultural sector.
