The role of staff participation in strategic processes at the Jewish Museum BerlinSamenvatting
Staff participation is considered to be a crucial element of successful change and strategic
planning processes. While it is a highly relevant topic in the light of both changes in the
museum field and current leadership theories it remains under researched. There is a lack
of detailed case studies, especially for the German museum field. The aim of this study is
to gain insight into the role of staff participation in strategic change processes in
museums. Based on the case study of the participatory Mission/Vision process and the
Strategic Planning process at the Jewish Museum Berlin, qualitative interviews are
conducted with members of management to find out about their perceptions of staff
participation and the concepts of staff participation within the museum. The aim is to
create a case study of an ongoing change process and create insight into what it means to
try to implement staff participation in practice. The study reveals the potential of staff
participation to create better results, alignment and empowerment, as well as the
importance of communication and support by top-leadership for successful change
processes.
