Tampa’s esteemed Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) found itself at a crossroads, grappling with the exorbitant costs of an outdated business model and expensive physical facilities. The immense costs tied to its large temporary exhibit areas posed a formidable obstacle, impeding the achievement of the museum’s mission and educational goals. Seeking a radical shift to surmount financial and operational hurdles, MOSI turned to Chora for strategic guidance.
In a collaborative effort, Chora and MOSI’s leadership embarked on a transformative journey rooted in robust business modeling and productive fiscal planning. The outcome was a radical yet necessary downsizing, a strategic maneuver crucial in liberating the museum from financial constraints and operational complexities. Since implementing these changes, MOSI has regained its operational stability and witnessed a notable surge in attendance. The downsized museum has been better able to fulfill its educational mission for the benefit of the Tampa community.
