In the context where the global creative economy is reshaping Vietnam’s economic landscape, creative-cultural organisations, businesses and agencies are playing an increasingly important role. In this process of change and growth, every founder\/manager has to face their own unique challenges.<\/h4>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”8rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][vc_empty_space height=”6rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”10rem”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\r\n

\r\n\r\nIn the first half of the talk, the guest speakers took turns sharing the nature, goals and vision of the cultural and creative organisation they are steering. The diversity in their models – private and public, traditional and contemporary, physical and virtual… provided the audience with an overview of cultural organisations in Vietnam.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-8″][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_empty_space height=”4rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][vc_single_image image=”1870″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ offset=”vc_col-md-2 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-3″][vc_single_image image=”892″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”14rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_empty_space height=”8rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]The speakers came from different professional backgrounds but shared the same passion for arts and culture. They all encountered difficulties in the initial stage of building or taking charge of their organisation, facing challenges in financial management, operations, human resources, maintaining internal and external activities and more in order to lead and move forward in unity. Each step, each change, each transformation was traded off with failures, financial resources and numerous difficult decisions. It was a lesson in financial management for The Outpost, a challenge of self-renewal for the Temple of Literature, a problem of sustaining finances after an important funding source ran dry for TPD, the continuity and new creation from heritage for Bat Trang Museum of Viet Soul Art, and painful decisions to survive with its ideal for HanoiGrapevine.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_empty_space height=”8rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1842″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1854″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1905″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1889″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1848″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1883″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1885″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”1846″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_single_image image=”1864″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_single_image image=”1893″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”4rem” el_class=”hide-mobile”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

\r\n\r\nThere is no universal formula that fits any cultural and creative organisation. Each leader learns and adjusts through experiences with their organisation. Behind every artistic “pink dream” are tremendous amounts of sweat, effort, and silent sacrifices of the leaders and their teams. Despite the challenges, they always keep their faith and bravely move forward with their love for the arts and an optimistic spirit.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2rem”][vc_column_text]\r\n
