Charrettes and Planning Meetings
Often, one of the first steps in a planning project is holding a charrette, or a planning meeting with all project stakeholders. In addition to gathering input, charrettes can be a relatively quick way to resolve differences and to develop a clear path forward for the project. Our interpretive planners are experienced meeting facilitators. We specialize in creating harmony, even on “difficult” boards.
Marketing Studies
Understanding your market will help you expand your audience. Our interpretive planners can work with you to conduct market studies and analysis. Market data will be used to develop and place your message with the most appropriate media outlets.
Working with a Certified Interpretive Planner
Large, complex planning projects may require the services of a Certified Interpretive Planner. The National Association for Interpretation’s rigorous certification process means a planner has demonstrated abilities and has met national standards for interpretive planning. The History Workshop has a Certified Interpretive Planner on staff to assist you.
