PAM offers creative problem solving that is engaging and enjoyable.
A sound strategic plan can bring clarity to the unknown. At PAM, we understand that committing to a vision for the future and setting strategies to get there can be nerve-wracking because there are no guarantees. That’s why we facilitate a process that helps institutions and their stakeholders find conviction in the choices they are making to shape their future. PAM helps answer key questions, such as:
- What should we be prioritizing?
- What are we missing out on?
- Do our stakeholders share in our vision of the future?
Feasibility Studies
A feasibility study enables organizations to assess an opportunity’s viability from multiple perspectives—financial, technical, and operational—and to define a project, along with the steps required to turn a good idea into reality. A PAM-led feasibility study engages stakeholders across the institution, ensuring they contribute to goal-setting, remain informed, and have realistic expectations about the project’s outcomes. Without a feasibility study grounded in intentional stakeholder engagement, organizations risk launching projects that may fail due to unforeseen challenges or misaligned objectives. PAM helps answer key questions, such as:
- Does the project align with our mission, values, and goals?
- Are we prepared to execute the project?
- What do we need to prioritize in order to make the project successful?
Collections Stewardship
Collection stewardship embodies a commitment to future generations, ensuring that cultural and historical legacies are understood. Responsible stewardship not only maintains the physical condition of items but also ensures that they continue to educate, inspire, and serve as a resource for public knowledge. Collectively, PAM’s founders bring two decades of experience planning the management and storage of museum, library, and private collections. PAM helps answer key questions, such as:
How might we …
- Increase accessibility to our collections for public education, research, and enjoyment?
- Demonstrate that our collections are managed responsibly and transparently?
- Create conditions for storing our collections that exemplify our institutional values?
