  MMM: Designing for Transition (or Deft for short) is a change programme. It aims to test ideas for responding and adapting to the numerous and complex trends affecting nonprofit distributing arts and cultural organisations, demonstrate what works to the broader field and accelerate infrastructural and organisational transformation in order to better support the creation and experience of great art.

Deft is the fourth phase of the Mission, Models, Money (MMM) programme, an independent, sector-led initiative which is seeking to address the challenges faced by individual arts and cultural organisations and their funders in developing mission-led organisationally and financially resilient businesses.

Here online we will build up a range of resources relevant to individuals and organisations who share our aspiration and want to make this journey with us. The Communicate and Open Minds pages will offer an interactive platform for learning and debate which reflects the realities and challenges facing the people, the organisations and the funders who are supporting creative practice on the front line. You can join our mailing list and receive updates and you can contact us and share your ideas about how to grow the conversation.

Offline participation has begun in Scotland and the North East of England and you can find out more about who is taking part there in the Our Team and Our Programme pages.

The provocations, case studies and reports generated by the previous third phase of the programme which have led to the design of the Deft programme can all still be accessed here.
