Technology abounds.<\/h6>\n

As a venue owner or manager, are you a fish in technology water – immersed yet almost unaware how things really work, nor how to improve them?<\/p>\n

As a technical manager are you so busy keeping things running that you need another set of eyes?<\/p>\n

Are you a venue designer who has been to plenty and even designed a few but has a sense that it never quite right.<\/p>\n

This is where Spirited Thinking can help.\n<\/p>\n

Spirited Thinking<\/strong> is a niche design firm creating engaging venues for people. We design technology systems for art, culture, recreation & sport, entertainment, communications or business and broadcast applications. We also help and advise on management of these systems and the venues that use them, with the development of management systems and documentation such as: business plans and technical & administration documentation, system design, tender documentation, assessments, upgrade plans and reports.<\/p>\n

Our people are highly experienced with entertainment & presentation technology and the art and business of utilising it for storytelling, communication and creating engaging spaces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Theatre at its essence is story telling or taking the audience on a journey. This is communicating something between people which requires the receiving person to willingly shift their point of view. In theatre this shift is called suspending disbelief or leaning in. It’s about immersing oneself in another world and emotionally engaging with it.<\/p>

We use this (theatrical) approach as the methodology for everything we design and implement. Our people have spent their career working in this way at the highest levels, often on a ‘world stage’.<\/p>

Focused on performing arts venues and venues for arts & culture (museums & galleries), and sport & recreation venues, we assist in designing venues and projects, help optimise and improve operational systems and operate, configure and commission systems and content to ensure they engage and communicate well with their users.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We design as users having practical experience with working these ‘spaces’, their specialist technology.<\/p>

This provides huge benefits in enabling us to find that ‘sweet spot’ where everything comes together and works.<\/p>

We take a ‘no gaps’ approach to ensure the whole project works well as intended.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Many decades using a range of specialist technologies including keeping a keen eye on the latest developments ensures things are as simple as they can be, but not simpler.<\/p>

We learn from the past, look ahead and implement in the present.\u00a0<\/span>When working through the inevitable ‘value engineering’, we ensure the fundamental objectives are maintained with our keen eye on the operational needs. We council stakeholders in provisioning and procurement.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Standing in technical and creative worlds, we cross communicate and cross pollinate.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Our business acumen is highly developed toward integration of technical operations and the remainder of the business.<\/p>

Innovation is a buzzword these days, overused!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We think innovation should be embedded in all design processes.<\/p>

Yet, repeating an old idea is just as valid as using a new one or one from somewhere else if it is the best solution.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We aim to find the best solution for the purpose, plan for the future by ensuring flexibility and scalability are embedded.<\/p>

Every element must be appropriate and pay its way.<\/p>\n
