Myth
Digital matters only to technology companies or retailers
If we do enough digital projects, we will get there
In our sector we can wait and see how digital develops
Staff will lead the change, it’s a “grassroots” effort

Myth
Reality
Digital matters only to technology companies or retailers Opportunities exist in all industries (no exceptions)
If we do enough digital projects, we will get there A collection of projects does not lead to transformation
In our sector we can wait and see how digital develops Digital leaders outperform peers across every sector
Staff will lead the change, it’s a grassroots effort Successful digital transformation is led from the top

Audience Engagement
The Visitor-Centered Museum
Visitor-centered innovation goes hand in hand with
museum change
Keep re-evaluating: Who is our audience? What do
they need from us?
For a visitor-centered museum, these questions are
the starting point of all museum business
Peter Samis, closing Plenary, MW17, 22 April 2017
“Too often museums use technology
to side-step bigger issues they are
not prepared to face”
Such as:• User experience
• Engagement
• Meaning-making
• Why should people care?

Do not try to catch up to industry (or envied peers)
Instead, deliver on mission by taking advantage of opportunities

Digital vs. Mission

> USE IT
> TOGETHER
> TIME
> STORIES
> ART
False Dichotomy
Digital is in service of mission
Enhances experience
Opens doors

assets and capabilities. But, like any significant building addition, doing
it well requires modifying the existing structure”

digitally-savvy staff about
strategy, management, and
decision-making
What is Digital Literacy?

Digital Literacy GoalsEnough to be able to make business-critical decisions
Understand broad trends
Keep learning!
7. AnxietyConfident Leaders are curious learners
Insecure Leaders are nervous controllers

Insecure Leaders Arrogant Leaders
Fear looking foolish “Only my ideas matter!”
“Your challenge makes
me look stupid”
Ignore all challenges – not
important
Hire people they can
control
Hire people they like
Lead with fear Lead alone

Hint: If you ignore conflict, it will NOT go away
1.Practice calm – don’t escalate
2.Listen deeply to understand
3.Find common ground
4.Focus on the problem, not the person
5.Don’t accuse – ask in order to investigate, not interrogate
6.Confidence matters (even if you fake it until you make it)
7.State fact with tact
8.Look ahead, not back
9.Recognize stepwise successes
