Connecting the mission, site, and visitors

Planning is the process of consensus building, of achieving a shared perspective by all stakeholders of why interpretation is needed, who it will serve, and what significant stories it will tell. Answering these three basic questions, “why, who, and what,” is the foundation for developing a vision.

• Why? - Establish the mission of the organization or agency and goals for interpreting the significant resources.

• What? - Inventory the tangible resources of the site and describe their intangible meanings, then distill these tangibles and intangibles into unifying themes and messages.

• Who? - Determine current and future visitors and the experiences they are seeking.

• How? When? Where? - Based on the why, who, and what, plan and develop interpretive media and programs that best facilitate resource/visitor connections.

We are committed to working cooperatively with our clients to deliver an interpretive master plan that helps connect visitors to the significant meaning of the site.
