Join us on February 28th at Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, for an insightful exploration of Systems Thinking, Problem Structuring Methods, and Behavioral Operational Research. 🔍 Our speakers will delve into how these methodologies can significantly impact decision-making and policymaking, both in government and the private sector. In today's complex landscape, the need for systems approaches has never been more crucial. While strategies were vital in the past, our current challenges demand a deeper understanding and collaborative effort. 🌐 We're at a pivotal moment, with initiatives like the STP apprenticeship and the growing Systems Thinking Interest Group in Govt and industry. Embracing systems approaches is poised to become the standard in navigating complexity. The future lies in our collective hands, and we are the catalysts for this change. During the event, our presenters will cover topics ranging from the rational to the emotional and political dimensions of decision-making processes. 📌 Don't miss out on the opportunity to engage with our SIG chairs and share your key takeaways! Let's come together to shape the future of decision-making! 🚀 #ORSSIGEvent #SystemsThinking #ProblemSolving #DecisionMaking

✨ Thrilled to Announce the Publication of Our Latest Research on the Impacts of Museums on Global Communication! ✨ 🚀 Have you ever wondered how grassroots museums empower citizens to take an active role in shaping public value? Our latest research uncovers the transformative potential of these spaces, revealing how they serve as catalysts for community engagement and cultural preservation. In this study, co-authored with Dr. Carmine Sergianni, Prof. Marco Tregua, and Prof. Francesco Bifulco, we delve deep into the role of grassroots museums as platforms for bottom-up value proposition creation within the cultural heritage sector. Through the lens of Public Service Logic (PSL), our analysis showcases how users, public service organizations, and the community collaboratively enhance the significance of cultural heritage in society. 👥 This collaborative journey has not only reinforced our dedication to enriching cultural heritage but has also yielded insights that can inform and inspire future theory development. 🔗 If you’re passionate about cultural engagement or eager to understand how these institutions can drive societal change, you won’t want to miss our findings!

You're invited to join us for our upcoming "How to Make the Case for a Better CMS" webinar, which will be held on Thursday, September 5 @12pm Pacific. Register today, as seats are limited: https://lnkd.in/gdN3Q7Bm Here is what we'll be covering: No one has time for a bad system; our time is so limited and having the right tools is critical. Pitching a database is difficult because they are competing against the appeal of exhibitions, but it’s essential to the success of your organization. This webinar will cover the role of the museum CMS, how no CMS – or a bad CMS – is a burden to staff, why you need a (better) CMS, examples of what a good CMS can do for museum staff, and how to put it all together and make the pitch for a (better) CMS.

You're invited to join us for our upcoming "What Do We Value and How Do We Measure it? (August 2024)" webinar, which will be held on Thursday, August 1 @12pm Pacific. Register today, as seats are limited: https://lnkd.in/gdN3Q7Bm Here is what we'll be covering: We’re bringing this popular webinar back for its 3rd iteration! It can be difficult to identify, quantify, and speak to the value of collections work in archives and museums. While we know how important our work is, the truth is, it's hard to articulate the value of it to our bosses, let alone anyone outside of the field. Worse, in times of economic crisis positions that take care of, manage, catalog, and educate with the collection can be vulnerable to elimination. It's critically important for collection workers to know how to identify what's of value to stakeholders and decision makers, and how to quantify and translate our work in a meaningful way. This webinar will walk through each part: identification, measuring, and speaking to the value of collection work; and will offer specific examples along the way.
