In May 2007, the Major Performing Arts Board of the Australia Council commissioned AEA Consulting to identify the most significant trends and factors likely to influence the health and vitality of the 29 largest performing arts organisations in Australia over the next two decades. AEA also was asked to identify key measures or indicators for these trends that can be tracked overtime and used in strategic planning by the Major Performing Arts Board (MPAB) and the major performing arts groups (MPAs) themselves.
