Computer room in close proximity
Disruption possible inadvertently and deliberately

Solution
Clear communication for reason
Stress benefits, generating casual employment
Ensure gallery does not detract from client’s
amenities
44. Change Management
Current Employees
Different from any endeavor BOG has undertaken
Should not increase load on other employees or
cause inconvenience
Ensure gallery nor perceived as a hindrance
Facilitates BOG’s goals

anne Thank you alona. Good afternoon everyone. We’re really happy to share this business plan with you today. 6 months back we didn’t know what this would evolve into But what we’ve come up with in response to signals from the industry, the community and BOGs position, we are excited for this opportunity that has. So we’ll try to contain our excitement and present this proposal for Open Door Gallery.. anne We’ll take you through the challenges first presented to us and our initial reactions. Which then turned into great opportunities after conducting our market research, and MORE market research, creative brainstorming leading to innovative solutions. Encompassing this process will be our proposed Strategy (mission, Partnerships) Implementation (operations, employment, marketing, gallery design, products), Finances, and what your Future could look like.
Anne BOG, non-profits, DTES-took all of these and thought how can we address all of themanne -which led us to opportunities, and how an art gallery can address all of those challengesPower of art to transcend barriers. We see the gallery as a way to;Increase reputation positive feedback loop (enhance ESC, future bids, funding concerns, marketing). Uses DTES strengths (ABCDevelopment). ODG strengths (Thrive—well aware of the benefits that art as a medium for service delivery). (reduces scaryness of entry into new market)Enhance efforts, not duplicate or compete.
