                  at PLA, March 2012
It’s not just about the money
Assume constant change
Your contract with the community
Focus on outcomes
Think several moves ahead
Redesign, don’t just reduce
Deconstruct and redeploy
Tune up what you keep
Define centers of excellence
Develop
     new
   capacity
if necessary
Make it show
Link whatever you do to
      community values
Get out
of the library
Set a green
 example
Help it grow
Prepare for success
Meet
increased demand
      in new ways
Make it flow
Use mainstream tools and
      terminology
Unlock your
   data
Question all control points
Schedule around
  the needs of
working families
Let it go
Shared skills and tasks are more
 sustainable than unique ones
Integration is
more sustainable
   than silos
Self directed service is more
sustainable than mediated service
Scalability is more sustainable
         than rationing
Word of mouth is more sustainable
        than advertising
Helping
others think
sustainably
Articulate
 a clear
  brand
Focus on the work,
not just the workers
How               we?
How can           we?          we?
            can          can
