Creating Space for Creativity and Community
The Roundhouse in London is not just a live performance venue; it’s also a charity with a mission to empower young people through creativity. From iconic concerts to artist residencies and workshops for 15–25-year-olds, the organization juggles a unique blend of cultural programming and community impact.
Balancing these ambitions with efficient operations was no easy task. The team needed a system to align their complex schedules and free up time to focus on their mission.
The Challenge of Managing a Multidimensional Venue
The Roundhouse team faced growing pains as their operations expanded. Managing hundreds of events while coordinating between multiple departments led to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and occasional scheduling conflicts.
The problem was clear: their tools weren’t keeping pace with the scale of their activities. Without a unified system, their ability to support both their performances and youth programs was being stretched thin.
A Smarter Way to Stay in Sync
To solve these challenges, The Roundhouse adopted Yesplan, a planning and resource management solution designed for venues with diverse needs.
With Yesplan, the team consolidated their schedules, streamlined communication, and gained a bird’s-eye view of their operations. Features like centralized calendar management and customizable workflows made it easier to balance their dual roles as a performance venue and charity.
“Yesplan adapts to what we need, whether it’s organizing a large-scale gig or scheduling a creative workshop,” the team shared. “It’s given us a framework to keep everything running smoothly.”
Results That Amplify Impact
Since implementing Yesplan, The Roundhouse has seen transformative improvements in efficiency and clarity.
Scheduling conflicts are now a thing of the past, and the time saved on administrative tasks is being reinvested into strategic priorities like expanding youth programs. The team also finds it easier to collaborate across departments, ensuring seamless execution for every event and program.
The results include:
- Reduced administrative burden, saving hours each week.
- Improved coordination for complex schedules and resource allocation.
- Greater focus on delivering high-quality programs and events.
“By simplifying our operations, we’ve created more space to do what we’re here for: supporting creativity and inspiring the next generation,” said The Roundhouse team.
