White Oak’s most comprehensive planning service is our Strategic Master Plan. Several museums, however, need only parts of the overall plan, so White Oak also offers components such as a Concept Development Plan, an Attendance and Pricing Study, a Theater Feasibility Study, a Marketing Plan, a Staffing Plan or any other custom approach that meets a museum’s unique needs. In some cases, our reports embrace existing planning work and are co-authored by our client’s staff and advisors.

On any given project, a team of experienced professionals is assembled to bring the latest and most successful thinking and problem-solving solutions to your project. Our in-house expertise covers many aspects of programming, marketing and operations, and we typically augment this experience with the best practicing professionals.

Each planning area presents your solutions in a formal report done for a fixed cost. We can also work on an ad-hoc consultation basis, billing hourly by our rate card.
