About two months ago, Rusholme put forward to staff a new proposed structure for the organisation, an “ongoing dialogue” with staff through surveys, emails and face-to-face conversations. After an initial staff consultation period, Rusholme revised the proposal and put this back to staff, before releasing it publicly on Wednesday. The new structure is flatter, removing several senior roles at individual sub-organisations in favour of a more consolidated executive team, which will have authority across all six institutions. The new executive leadership team is made up of a chief executive (Rusholme), and underneath her seven directors: of Māori engagement; art and heritage; exhibitions and project delivery; children, young people and community engagement; people, operations and visitor services; fundraising, marketing and communications; and finance and commercial.
