KAMU is working on guidelines for museums to create a digital strategy

KAMU Espoo City Museum has launched a nationally significant project aimed at creating an operating model for defining a sustainable and socially effective digital strategy for museums.
The aim of the operating model is to guide museums to socially, ecologically, economically and culturally sustainable and necessary digital services, while at the same time strengthening the social effectiveness of museums. The operating model is hoped to result in the continuous evaluation and development of the impact of digital services in museums, as well as to strengthening cooperation between museums in terms of digital services.
The project tests a collaborative process in which the museum’s employees, visitors and stakeholders contribute to the determination of digital services’ priorities. The project will create for KAMU Espoo City Museum its own digital work policy and for all museums a written operating model that acts as a guide and checklist for the planning of museums’ digital strategies. The project has received financial assistance from the Finnish Heritage Agency, which grants assistance to innovative projects.
