Digital leadership - Digital enterprise in heritage (online seminar)

In this free online seminar designed for senior leaders of medium and large* UK heritage organisations, our speakers will explore the demands that digital enterprise and entrepreneurship place upon their leaders and teams.

Join Chris Brayne (CEO, Wessex Archaeology), Sophia Woodley (Head of Policy Research, The Audience Agency), Camilla Stewart (Head of Commercial Programmes and Collection Partnerships, Art UK) with Patrick Towell (Innovation Director, The Audience Agency), as they discuss topics including:

• How digital changes visitor behaviours and expectations
• How digital introduces new competitors, partners and models for collaboration such as ‘co-opetition’
• Choosing between evolutionary and transformational change enabled by digital
• Borrowing ways of working from the broader world of digital enterprise

Our guests will share their experiences of the role of digitally literate leadership in the resilience of heritage organisations, inclusive growth through cultural heritage, business models in the cultural and creative sector, new models of collaboration and partnership through digital.

This seminar is the fifth of six in a series called Leading the Sector 2022, which runs from March to September 2022. Each session focusses on a different aspect of digital challenge, change or opportunity that leaders of heritage organisations need to consider and act upon as we all move forward from Covid 19’s digital kickstart.

* by ‘medium and large’ we mean organisations ranging from 10+ FTE up to teams of several hundred.
