Strategic Planning
Our strategic planning service helps institutions chart a clear path forward. We conduct thorough environmental scans, stakeholder consultations, and audience research to develop actionable plans that align resources with organisational ambitions.
Deliverables typically include a comprehensive strategic plan document, implementation timeline, key performance indicators, and governance recommendations. Engagements range from focused planning retreats to multi-phase development processes.
Exhibition Consulting
We guide institutions through every stage of exhibition development, from initial concept through final evaluation. Our consultants bring extensive experience in interpretive planning, spatial design coordination, and project management.
Services include concept development workshops, interpretive frameworks, content development guidance, design brief preparation, fabrication oversight, and post-opening evaluation. We work seamlessly with your existing design and construction partners.
Collection Assessment
Our collection assessment service provides institutions with a clear understanding of their holdings and care requirements. We examine storage conditions, documentation systems, conservation needs, and collection development priorities.
Assessment reports include condition surveys, risk analyses, storage recommendations, cataloguing guidance, and prioritised action plans. We also advise on collection policies, deaccessioning procedures, and digitisation strategies.
Heritage Advisory
Grove-cypress provides specialised guidance for institutions managing heritage buildings, sites, and collections. Our heritage advisors help balance conservation requirements with operational needs and community access.
Services encompass conservation management plans, heritage impact assessments, adaptive reuse studies, and interpretation strategies for heritage places. We work closely with heritage authorities and conservation architects.
