How it works
Here’s a quick overview of the collaborative approach and the steps involved. Our team, partners, and hub members work together throughout the process to maximise the success of each collaboration. The platform provides easy-to-use communication tools to keep everyone informed throughout.
-
Contextual feedbackLeave and receive feedback directly on tools, projects, campaigns and content.
-
Collaborative by designEasily share the current state of projects for collaboration, feedback or buy-in.
-
Change notificationsGet updates when changes are made to content, tools, resources and projects you follow.
Create a project
Projects can include anything from a ground breaking app, collaboration around nationwide cause or call for funding to a single tool, technology integration, marketing resource or workshop.
1
Generate interest
Tell Hub members about your project, its goals and your requirements, answer question, request feedback and encourage them to engage, collaborate and back your project.Â
2
Engage partners
To keep costs down and avoid duplication, before creating something from scratch we engage with partners to see if there are solutions, resources, tools etc already available (or underway) that can be used or adapted to deliver the project goal.
3
Build & Create
If a project requires tools, resources, assets etc that don’t already exist, the hub team of designers, developers, content creators and strategists are available to work with the project owner, partners and hub members to make it happen.
4
Measure & Test
To ensure that every project delivers achieves it goal, delivers results and has the largest impact on growth for as many hub members as possible, we’ll measure the impact of each tool, assets or resources (new or established) and make the insights available to hub members.
5
Iterate & IMPROVE
Using Insights and member feedback every aspect of this hub should evolve and improve over time to provide a maximum ROI for all members. This includes tools, resources, content and the hub itself.

OUR INSPIRATION
Here are just a few of the drivers leading to this project.
The sector contains a lot of digital knowledge, but often that knowledge isn’t shared.
Participants stressed the importance of networking and sharing expertise and there is scope for funders to support this, perhaps through peer mentoring. More ambitiously, there is also scope for organisations to share specialist roles, with a digital expert working part-time for a group of museums.
Many of the smaller organisations that participated would welcome opportunities for joint working and shared resources.
Lack of strategy is the biggest barrier to digital effectiveness
Sector funders and support organisations should come together to discuss how they can better help organisations through funding and other channels to connect with each other, coordinate to develop networks, mentoring and partnerships to support museums in learning, setting digital strategy and implementing digital systems.
