NEW BEGINNINGPeople rallied People changed and started thinking differently
“To anyone else, I was just another suburban Ottawa kid ambling around a museum on a quiet, admission-free evening. But what no one else could see was that I — along with hundreds, even thousands of unsuspecting students before and after me — was discovering a whole new dimension.”
– Emma Godmere — writer, radio producer and host

WITHOUT A BOX — YOU DON’T THINK OUTSIDE OF ONE
You survive in a world drastically different
than what you once knew

Pace of change impossible to keep up with— we have lost that battle
![Page 20: What If You Could Start Over?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589b66391a28abdd258b45e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

DIGITAL CITIZENS

Many born digital demand participation
End of didactic environments
New norm — co-creation not only of content but of strategy
![Page 22: What If You Could Start Over?](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030213/589b66391a28abdd258b45e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
People want the “real thing” and much, much more
Traditional “Unassailable Voice” challenged — we are no longer the source of truth — too much content out in the world

Release of data
Release of archives and content
Our physical walls came down
WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS
A FULL OPEN HERITAGE MODEL
• Why not lower our digital ones as well?• Redefine what it means to be a museum in the 21st century
Release of all information — first open by default public institution

APPLY INDUSTRY INNOVATION MODELS
TO CULTUREGood things happen
It is about the ecosystem now, not about bums in the seat— The broader the ecosystem the more bums
Citizen input into strategic decisions
Redefine success — move away from linear research and development to ecosystem and co-development
Internal and external use of knowledge — expert and non-expert input into heritage development

LESSONS LEARNEDRedefine what makes a museum successful in this day and age — don’t wait for mould like we did!
Engagement, participatory heritage, co-creation, whatever term you use — in a digital world a must for institutional survival
Don’t be linear or didactic — work in parallels, grow partners in the digital world, let others lead
Don’t be perfect — imperfection is key for co-development of culture
Think global first — local second — you will always be local
Merge into multimedia, not just exhibitions
