Very annoying that when you type Libraries in the search box on Data,gov.uk you don’t get a link to the data set mentioned above. Just someone’s comment saying it would be a good idea and one of those pretty pointless lists of expenditure for the British Library.

Comment on If Steve Jobs made a Museum by Charles Rignall

Charles Rignall — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:43:58 +0000

I just read an article (http://linkd.in/vLXuXB) from a CEO who asked for Steve’s help.

The CEO observes that: ‘his brain moved—without limitation—from what might enhance a customer’s life, to what that would mean to them and how they would benefit, to how this would change the world’.

The outcome of that was the CEO committed to himself: ‘I would no longer see barricades. Stumbling blocks would now be seen as stepping stones to something better, or something to crawl over or walk around. Previous limitations would now be a mere triviality, at worst a slight inconvenience’.

So museums should set strategies that enhance a visitor’s life, how they would benefit and they might help change the world. Then the museum would be truly relevant. Perhaps CT might be able to create an embracing offering for the MLAs which would facilitate the thought process to enable them to develop their future state and develop the strategies to achieve that – a best practices model, building on CT’s current practice offerings. The sector should embrace developing relationships with technology and search companies to help in this ‘future state’ visioning, as these are the companies that develop the delivery capabilities.

Thanks again for the thought provoking and articulate blog.
