The project built on the discipline of systems thinking, which has provided a useful toolset for disciplines as diverse as meteorology, biology, social science, and human systems—areas that all share a complex structure of dynamically interconnected elements. The Cultural Dynamics Project seeks to turn that same toolset toward the reasoned development of cultural policy, the responsive management of cultural institutions, and the dynamic training of future leaders in the field.

In addition to the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, partners in the project include National Arts Strategies, based in Washington, D.C., and Cultural Initiatives Silicon Valley, based in California.
