Failing fast means trialling, testing, learning and reshaping so you can succeed. But what does that mean for arts management? How can a fail fast mentality help push arts organisations forwards? 

In this thought-provoking episode of "The Arts and Everything in Between," host Lucy Costelloe sits down with Gail Jones, Communications Manager at the Crescent Arts Centre, to explore what it means for arts organisations to adopt a fail-fast mentality.  Gail shares Crescent’s strategies for innovation, community engagement, and how they navigate the complexities of arts management by embracing failure as a pathway to rapid learning and growth. 

You’ll learn:

1. How a fail fast approach facilitates learning, growth, and innovation within organisations.

2. How Crescent has embraced failure as an opportunity for learning with specific examples such as their pricing strategies.

3. The benefits of Crescent’s Associate Model which brings in external expertise into the organisation to support programming and audience engagement.

4. Tips when considering the fail-fast approach, including how to get started, the importance of embracing vulnerability, and the value of external collaborations.
