What
staff and board members are saying about Musynergy:
“As County Treasurer and trustee of several organizations,
I’ve worked on a number of strategic plans but this is the best planning
process I’ve ever been involved in. I’m amazed at how such an inclusive,
non-intimidating process generated so much substance and consensus. Thank
you!”
Board President
"What I most appreciated about the process was
the feedback and consensus building and hearing from visitors what’s important
to them rather than telling them what we think they should know. In an ideal
world we would be doing this with all of our significant projects.”

ABOUT MUSYNERGY
Before founding MUSYNERGY in 1993, Daryl Fischer spent 15 years creating innovative education programs at the Denver Art Museum, the Muskegon Museum of Art and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. As a consultant, the scope of her practice has grown to include all types of museums, from botanical gardens to history museums. By focusing on new subject matter, from plant taxonomy to immigration, she’s gained an appreciation of the personal discoveries experienced by museum visitors—many of whom are novices when it comes to your collections.
In her work with museum boards, Fischer draws on her own experience serving on numerous nonprofit boards. Fischer is co-author of the four-volume Templates
for Trustees, software-based tools that help museum leaders apply
best practices to critical governance activities. Building
Museum Boards, The Leadership Partnership, Executive Transitions and Strategic
Thinking and Planning are available through the Museum
Trustee Association and the American
Association of Museums. Click on each title to download sample templates.
With an MA in Art History and Museum Studies, Fischer also draws on her experience as an architectural space planner and a classroom teacher to develop innovative plans, programs and projects for museums. A strong audience advocate, she is committed to involving visitor feedback in the process of creating MUSYNERGY.
Fischer has been actively involved in the museum profession in the regional and national arenas for over 20 years. She currently serves as Vice President
of the Visitor Studies Association and Vice President of
The
Museum Group.
