How does Digital fit into Strategy?

Who owns this?

Who do we serve?

How are we doing?

How do we get there?

Let’s conduct a comprehensive search to hire a seasoned executive leader to head an initiative to

plan for a committee to oversee a task force dedicated to the implementation of state-of-

the-art technological solutions based on industry standards and implemented by a cross-disciplinary

team spear-headed by a dedicated manager and augmented by a carefully-selected team of outside

experts who can create the synergy necessary to blah blah blah and spend every last cent

until there is truly nothing left at all

etc.

Director of Technology?

Technology: Strategic?

• Central (not peripheral)

• Essential (not preferable)

• Vital to the sustainability of the organization

TMA Strategic Objectives• Expanding Access to the Collections

– Continue to expand access to the museum’s collection through by integrating new media technologies, and art interpretation materials into our permanent displays and exhibitions.

• Teaching Visual Literacy– All of our current strategic objectives aim toward this goal. Teaching Visual Literacy is

fundamental for shaping today's youth into tomorrow’s leaders.

• Increasing Visibility– To increase awareness of the Toledo Museum of Art locally, nationally and internationally,

we have increased our use of social media, promoted the museum’s membership program, and utilized focused marketing efforts around exhibitions and high profile events.

• Developing Museum Assets– To promote the knowledge and expertise of our staff and foster improvements to our

physical plant and environment.

• Working with Artists– In our continuous effort to expand and cultivate the museum’s relationships with artists we

have devised programs that work specifically with artists through artist-in-residence programs, masters series lectures, and exhibitions featuring onsite instillations.

WHAT WE HEARDKEY FINDINGS

“Our biggest asset is the collection and you can’t really access information very easily or very well. It’s really hard to collect information to create learning experiences.”

“We want do a better job of helping visitors make connections between objects that are not obvious, or that we could never bring into the same space.”

“We want to provide interactive, exploratory activities ... use technology to enhance the hands on, physical experiences for everyone.”

“Our overall goal is to create stronger educational opportunities through richer, digital interaction with TMA’s collection.”

“All systems should be talking to each together, we need to coordinate data across many places.”

“We need an intranet. There’s a lot of information and we don’t know who has it, where it is located, and what is current – it’s totally missing. We need process, workflow and capture priorities for different departments and understand who does what.”

“We need to give guests the opportunity to customize and personalize their tours ... and provide pre-made tours of different types and time allotments ... lead visitors to art in our collection, provide guests with greater and unique object information.”

“We need to consider different cultures and how they respond to art and exhibitions – this is a very high priority to serve our community.”

“We need to measure and have actionable insight – we want to support many audiences, types of people and be inclusive, but we’re not exactly sure who our audience is.”
