Welcome to the premiere episode of Culture Animals: Museum Leadership Lab!
Are you a museum director, department head, or cultural institution leader struggling with operational efficiency, declining attendance, or board pressure to modernize? This conversation is for you.
Antonio Velasco, CEO of Veevart, sits down with Nik Honeysett, CEO of the Balboa Park Online Collaborative (BPOC), a nonprofit consultancy specializing in museum digital transformation and strategic planning. A leading voice in museum innovation, Nik has held senior roles at The J. Paul Getty Museum and UK-based CogApp, working with over 140 museums on technology implementation, organizational transformation, and sustainable operations.
What we will discuss:
- Why treating "nonprofit" as a mindset (not tax status) is holding museums back.
- The dual obligation every museum owes its community (social AND financial).
- How to unlock a full FTE of productivity through better systems.
- Why disconnected systems are killing your revenue and efficiency.
- The 3-phase innovation roadmap: Efficiency → Sustaining → Growth.
- How the Bovington Tank Museum generates £3M in digital revenue.
- Leadership principles that separate thriving museums from struggling ones.
- Why you should hire people smarter than you (and how to do it).
- How to gain board buy-in for technology investments.
- AI strategy for museums: policy first, platform second.
- The real definition of museum success (it's not what you think).
