Leadership programme for cultural industries Liverpools leading cultural organisations have joined forces with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) to launch a ground-breaking cultural leadership programme. The MA in Cultural leadership is a first for North West England and has been developed in collaboration with an outstanding panel of cultural organisations, including Tate Liverpool, the Liverpool Biennial, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Everyman and Playhouse Theatres. LJMUs course leader Susanne Burns, who has over 26 years experience as a management and leadership consultant in the cultural sector, said: With Liverpool poised to become 2008 European Capital of Culture, the timing couldnt be better to launch the new MA in Cultural Leadership. The region is already internationally celebrated for its creativity and the strength of its cultural institutions and creative industries. Our goal is to contribute to the long term sustainability of the sector and build upon the successes of next years celebrations. But, we also expect that graduates of this programme will have a much wider impact, shaping the direction of the cultural sector, regionally, nationally and internationally. Arts Management Newsletter No. 71 (June 2007) 11 The programme is specifically designed to meet the leadership needs of 21st century cultural organisations, and practitioners will be able to call upon a unique shared knowledge base and critical awareness of the sector during their studies. The University has engaged one the UKs leading creative consultants and coaches Deborah Barnard MBE to deliver the leadership modules on the programme. She is currently a coach for both the NESTA and Clore Leadership programmes and is also the designer of 'The Leadership Dynamic' training programme. The cultural sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK. In the North West it already employs around 150,000 people, 64,000 of whom are based in Merseyside. The sector embraces a diverse range of organisations, from small independent theatre companies to large national galleries and museums, regional orchestras, touring dance companies, record labels, design agencies, film production and TV companies. The new programme was developed by LJMU in response to demand from the sector in the North West. There is currently only one other comparable course in the UK, delivered by City University in London. LJMU has established an industry advisory panel to advise on curriculum content and ensure that the programme remains up-to-date with the opportunities and threats facing the sector. Mick Elliott, Chief Executive, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, said: The North West has a thriving creative and cultural sector but for too long it has concentrated on developing managerial competencies rather than visionary leaders. The MA in Cultural Leadership will take 12 months to complete full-time or 18 months if studied part-time. Students can choose to complete the full MA programme or choose from a portfolio of continuing professional development programmes. Study is flexible and teaching is in blocks, which means that it can be combined with ongoing employment. Details: http://www.ljmu.ac.uk
