As the new year approaches, it's natural to start thinking about what the next 12 months will bring for the arts and cultural sector. 2023 is almost here, and it's the perfect time to start setting goals and making plans for the coming year.
One of the best ways to prepare for 2023 is to take a step back and assess the current state of the arts and cultural sector. What trends have emerged in recent years? How have they impacted your organisation or community? Answering these questions will give you a good foundation to build upon as you move forward.
One effective way to do this is by using the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework. OKRs are a goal-setting methodology used by many successful organisations to align team members and drive progress towards specific, measurable objectives. It’s a framework we’re entirely passionate about at Ticketsolve.
To start with OKRs, it's important first to take a step back and assess the current state of the arts and cultural sector. What trends have emerged in recent years? How have they impacted your organisation or community? Answering these questions will give you a good foundation to build upon as you move forward.
Next, it's time to start setting some goals using the OKR framework. What do you want to achieve in 2023? Do you want to increase event attendance, expand your audience base, or introduce new programming? Whatever your goals may be, be sure to make them specific and measurable.
Once you've set your OKRs, it's important to create a plan to achieve them. This might involve finding new funding sources, forming partnerships with other organisations, or utilising new technologies to reach a wider audience. Whatever your plan may be, be sure to be realistic and allow for flexibility.
If you're new to OKRs and looking for more guidance, Ticketsolve has a great resource available on our website. The Ticketsolve OKR Guide provides a step-by-step guide to implementing OKRs in your organisation, as well as best practices and case studies.
Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help along the way. Whether it's collaborating with other arts and cultural organisations, seeking guidance from industry experts, or enlisting the support of organisations such as The AMA, Thrive (NI), Theatre Forum (ROI), Digital Culture Network (Arts Council England), Creu Cymru (Wales), having a supportive network can make a big difference in achieving your OKRs.

With a little hard work and determination, you'll be well on your way to a successful and fulfilling year in the arts.
