About the event
In this second step in our series, we have asked Micah Parzen, CEO of the Museum of Us (San Diego, California) to lead a webinar/workshop combo to share his recent work on the creation of a human-centered workplace. In the first part, he will share his vision and what he has learned through several recent workshops on this matter. In the second part, he will lead a conversation with participants based on his evaluation of the questions that matter as they emerged through these workshops.
This workshop will focus on, 1) the need for a human-centered workplace turn in the museum field; 2) how some museums are already making that turn; and 3) examples of what that looks like in practice. Attendees will have an opportunity to share human-centered shifts their organizations have made (or that they wish they would make!) as well as the main obstacles for doing so.
