What we will get out of this session?• what is new media & why should you embrace it in the cultural sector?

• how to integrate all parameters?

• what is hype, what is a trend?

• how does new media fit into a cultural institution’s mission?

• the Met’s mission since 1870 : (...) «of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and, to that end, of furnishing popular instruction.»

• Le Louvre, a museum for all :

• (...) «This necessitates, of course, not only optimal facilities, but also a level of cultural accessibility that maximizes each visitor's knowledge, understanding, and closeness to the works»,

• (...) «Vibrantly open to its city and the world, the Louvre continues to fire the imaginations of those who visit and those who work creatively there; its goal is to remain, as Cézanne put it, "the book in which we learn to read" and through which "we can come to understand and love everything.»

• the goal of this session is to provide tools and knowledge to help you make culture more accessible, and create communities of visitors to help understand and love everything.

Page 4: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Session 1:Goals & Scope of the NMP• What we learned from Nancy Proctor’s previous session at NHB

• The museum is already a distributed network

• The museum has become a distribution network

• Whether it has embraced social media or not, the museum has become social media

• If we want to meet our audiences where they are, mobile is an essential vehicle

• “You don’t need a mobile strategy; you need mobile to be part of the strategy.”

• One thing to remember : audience, audience, audience

• Today : start from there, broaden the scope and put the theory into practice

Session 1:Goals & Scope of the NMP• What is New Media?

• "it's both about new content and about looking at old content in different ways. It's about intrinsically interactive media, made possible by the digital lingua franca of bits. And it's about the decreasing costs, increasing power, and exploding presence of computers" John Negroponte, Being Digital, 1995

• implications

• new content

• new platforms

• interactivity, the era of participation / engagement

• new models

• new power (to the people)

• New media? Social media? Multimedia ?

Page 6: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

every media is new to the previous one...

Page 7: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Session 1:Goals & Scope of the NMP• let’s define our terms

• multimedia program, social media site, networking plaform, new media, what exactly will we be talking about ?

• New Media is a catch-all term for all form of digital communication : news, streaming video, virtual environment, 3D, DVD, Skype, Twitter, Blogging, etc

• Social Media is a subset of New Media, since the tools that enable social media didn’t exist before, «Social media is an on-line environment established for the purpose of mass collaboration» (Gartner)

• Multimedia (1966) is the presentation of information by using a combination of text, audio, graphic, video, interactivity and animation, using a variety of hardware and software

• For the sake of this session, New Media :

• The forms of communicating in the digital world, which includes publishing on CDs, DVDs and, most significantly, over the Internet. It implies that the user obtains the material via desktop and laptop computers, smartphones and tablets, therefore multimedia programs

• The concept that new methods of communicating in the digital world allow smaller groups of people to congregate online and share, sell and swap goods and information. It also allows more people to have a voice in their community and in the world in general i.e. social media

• knowing that digital convergence allows the insertion of social media into multimedia programs

Page 8: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

New media at the Louvre over time (examples)

• Website launched 1995 // Le Louvre virtual visit (PC/Mac only) by Index, Montparnasse & RMN (1994-1998)

• major rebuild in 2005 to create richer, interactive components:

• «an arena of exchange, sharing and creation.»

• highlighting the “Louvre experience” on its own or in conjunction with a visit, and

• linking with other media, mobile

• Onsite multimedia developed with Dai Nippon Printing Media Lab in 2006

• 6 exhibits were installed in Japan in the DNP offices between 2006 and 2009.

• As a result 60 displays were developed, from simple touch screens to immersive spaces using 3D projection, sensors, augmented reality, etc. The project has been renewed to 2013.

• iPhone App 2009, iPad App 2011, Louvre community platform 2011, new website in 2011

• There is also deployment of multimedia tools in the exhibit rooms, reception areas, etc., including mobile tools such as self-guided audio - the Pyramid Project

• Objectives of the Louvre’s NMP

• Information, promotion, dissemination

• Exploration, mediation, education

• Dialogue, contribution, sharing

Why do you need a NMP?

• Today’s landscape of new and social media

• Data figures

• Hardware & Mobile (Andrew Nugée)

• Social Media (Rémi Carlioz)

Don’t let the revolution start (continue) without you - where are we today?

A perspective on devices• Explosive growth of the latest platforms

• Devices, ie phones, tablets

• Data traffic

• Speed

• Globalisation

• Native apps vs web apps: Horses for courses

“Howeverbig you thinksmartphones,

tablet computing and Apps will be

for your sector– think bigger”

Dominic JacquessonThe Media Briefing

Page 11: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Why the phone?• The mobile experiment

• Why phones

• Personal and portable

• Networked and interactive

• Numbers – currently 5.3bn (77% of population)

• Two tipping point thought experiments

• Fixed line vs mobile phone – 1995-6

• Computer vs mobile phone – 2015-6?

“Your and my first experience of a computer was… a computer. For two thirds of the world, their only experience of a computer is their phone” Bill Gates, 1996

“The best way to bring the digital age to poorer parts of the world is with cell phones. Everyone is going to have a cell phone” Craig Mundie, 2006

Native vs web apps

• Native apps• Built for the specific phone, downloaded

from an app store, lives on the phone

• Programmed in object C / Java

• Built-in marketing, cool, accesses the phone APIs

• Great for gaming, using device features

Web apps• Lives on the web, accessed from a

browser on the phone

• Programmed in a web language (html5 / CSS / JS); browser-based functionality

• Cheaper, because rapid to deploy, and cross-platform

• All web phones, including apple

• Functionality improving, eg  jqtouch

• Great for targeting multiple devices, mobilising websites, limited access to phone features (web, map, etc)

Using the mobile computer

“Which of the following are you interested in doing the most on your phone?”

Source: Forrester N Am Technographics® Retail Online Survey, Q3 2010 (US), base = 4,186 online adults with cell phones

Where are we headed?• 47m Japanese have adopted tap-and-go phones in

three years – this is one of the fastest roll outs of electronic products in human history(Comscore Research and Markets, Feb 2011)

• In December 2010, 10% of Japanese mobile subscribers used their mobile wallet to make a purchase (9.8 m people)

• 7.6 million in a retail/convenience store and 2.6 million in a grocery store

• 3.2 million from a vending machine

• 2.7 million paid for public transport

• 1.5 million paid a restaurant bill

• 1 in 5 smartphones will be NFC (near-field communication) enabled by 2014 (Juniper Research)

Page 28: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

So, mobiles in museums• Pro-personal mobile

• Network push

• Handset manufacturer push

• Consumer pull

• Reduced cost to serve

• Wider geographic and temporal reach

• Increased interactivity

• (Mainly) fixed cost model

• Novelty and Coolth!

• Eg Augmented Reality

Constraints on personal mobile

• Low smartphone penetration

• Space may be limited

• Limited battery life

• Expensive to roam and download

• Slow to download via wifi

• Need to install wifi throughout sites

• Can be tricky to get online

• And sites wary of piggy-back congestion

Page 29: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

How do these phone trends impact our NMP• Long-term the economics will drive all

interpretation and much consumer behaviour to the personal devices

• Unfortunately a reasonably controlled environment is giving way to greater complexity

• 3-5 OSs mid-term

• >60 different types/versions of mobile browser on mobile handsets, making mobile web design much more complicated than desktop web design

• Multitude of formats (incl tablets)

• Lack of clarity on web vs native

• And for the short and medium term we need to build for the majority as well as early adopters

Page 36: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Focus : the Obama campaign • why is it important?

• probably the biggest media / social media campaign to date (and it’s not over)

• probably one of the best audience segmentation and targeting («one-to-few»)

• many lessons to learn, especially knowing that in 2004 when everything started, new media was not as huge and «obvious» as it is today

• because of the result... he was elected and :

• popular vote at a 131 M people record

• participation rate 63% (vs. 55% in 2004)

• 10 M people engaged in the campaign

• 3 M donated

• 1.2 M were involved on the ground

Page 37: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

• in a few words...

• Obama has gained 5 million supporters in other social networks.

• Obama maintained a profile in more than 15 online communities, including BlackPlanet, a MySpace for African Americans, and Eons, a Facebook for baby boomers.

• On Facebook, where about 3.2 million (during the campaign) signed up as his supporters, a group called Students for Barack Obama was created in July 2007.

• It was so effective at energizing college-age voters that senior aides made it an official part of the campaign the following spring.

• And Facebook users did vote: On Facebook's Election 2008 page, which listed an 800 number to call for voting problems, more than 5.4 million users clicked on an "I Voted" button to let their Facebook friends know that they made it to the polls.

• On MyBarackObama.com, Obama's own social network, 2 million profiles were created

• In addition, 200,000 offline events were planned

• About 400,000 blog posts were written

• And more than 35,000 volunteer groups were created - at least 1,000 of them on Feb. 10, 2007, the day Obama announced his candidacy

constraints in the NMP• Internal - budget (absolute terms)

• policy issues

• ongoing experimentation

• lack of focus

• Risks

• IP leaks or security breach

• legal vulnerability

• brand erosion

• reduced competitiveness

Page 42: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Why do you need a NMP?(New Media Programme)

• Barriers to adoption

• we don’t know enough about social media to know where to begin

• there is no established way to measure the effectiveness

• there is no funding in our budget

• we don’t have the time

• it’s not a proven strategy

• we have legal constraints

• it’s not a good use of employee time

• etc

• All the issues we’re trying to address today

starting a NMP, the basics• people --> define the profile of your target

audience

• objectives --> decide on your goals

• strategy --> determine your approach to meet your objectives

• technology --> choose the development technology that fits your strategy

Universal McCann 2011

Page 44: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Introduction to the workshop • see handout for details

• use the 4 steps (people - objectives - strategy - technology) and the canvas (NABC / elevator pitch etc.) to build a NMP for teenagers in your institution

• Deliverables :

• elevator pitch : how will you drive in situ and online traffic from teens to your institution

• NABC : teenagers in your institutions, risks and opportunities

• a ten-bullet point RFP to a potential vendor

Page 45: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Innovation• Idea or Insight to Invention is 0 to 1

• As Invention to Innovation is 1 to 1,000

• Innovation implies new customer value in the marketplace. It requires process.

• “For innovation to occur, an insight must be put into action to make a genuine difference, resulting for example in new or altered business processes within the organisation, or changes in the products and services provided.” Wikipedia

• “Innovation, like many business functions, is a management process that requires specific tools, rules, and discipline. … It's the ‘bringing of ideas to life’ … that makes innovation the distinct undertaking it is.” Davila et al (2006)

Page 46: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Most innovation fails• Less than 3% of patents worldwide make it to product

• Why does innovation fail?

• Common causes of failure within the innovation process in most organisations can be distilled into five types:

• Poor goal definition

• Poor alignment of actions to goals

• Poor participation in teams

• Poor monitoring of results

• Poor communication and access to information

The need for NABC• NABC is a system tool, which aids innovation, the process

of creating value:

• By providing a way to order ideas, and a checklist to think through

• By defining a common language and process for the team

• An NABC is a Value Proposition. It helps define where the value is created, and how it can be protected.

• N = Need – An important, unmet, customer need

• A = Approach – A unique and compelling approach

• B = Benefits – Relative to cost; the customer value

• C = Competing alternatives – Other ways to satisfy the need

copyright SRI International

Page 50: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Outline of the Need• Important, not merely interesting

• The good news: genuinely important needs are most often interesting as well

• Customers can be External, Internal, Consumers, Shareholders, Staff, Partners …

• Could address

• the ‘pain point’ (eg the queue for car-hire), or

• the ‘delight point’ (eg the movie ice-cream).

copyright SRI International

Page 51: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

The heart of the Approach• At the heart of a great Value Proposition must be a

Golden Nugget to provide a sustainable competitive advantage. The Golden Nugget:

• Combines enabling technology, clever design, business model, relationships, market position, etc

• That meets an important unmet customer need, performs significantly better than competing alternatives

• And can be owned and/or protected in order to create a barrier to entry

• Includes the size of the opportunity, players, business models, disruptions, specific market segments

• Often includes a ‘beachhead’ (ie product or service with which we can initially add value)

copyright SRI International

Page 52: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Outline of the Approach• The product or service definition – what it is

• The Golden Nugget – what makes it sustainably different

• A plan – for how we build it; the team and process

• A plan – for how we get it into the target market’s hands

• The business model - how it will save us or make us money

• The financial plan – how this costs or saves money

copyright SRI International

Page 53: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Outline of the Benefits• Benefits for each group: visitors, staff, the board,

partners

• Benefits – costed and quantified where possible

• Benefits are attributes for which customers will pay money

• Benefits can include both tangible and intangible product or service attributes, such as features, service, convenience, customer experiences, identity, higher meaning…

• Only the customer determines which attributes are benefits, and what they are worth to him/her

copyright SRI International

Page 54: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Outlining Competing alternatives• Assess alternatives now and in the future

• Assess competitors’ barriers to entry (IP, distribution, partnerships, location, etc)

• Assess risks and mitigations

• Market risk – will they buy it?

• Technical risk – can we build it?

• People risk – do we have the necessary people?

• Financial risk – can we sell it at the required margin?

• Business model risk – does the business model work? Is it genuinely new and defensible

copyright SRI International

Page 55: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Common plan failings – i• The NABC needs to be illustrated, quantified and

iterated often

• Write the idea down (shorter is better initially) illustrate, use pictures, create mock-ups

• Don’t fall in love with the first idea! Fail early and fail cheap

• SRI iterates a plan on average 16 (!) times before agreeing the approach

• Iterate with customers, and preferably others

• Remember, no matter how many bright people you have in your team, most of the brightest people are not working for you

copyright SRI International

Page 56: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Common plan failings – ii• Insufficient attention is usually paid to the Needs

• Hence the ‘Cool App’ problem, otherwise known as

NABC:

• “The world Needs a new Cool App;

• “The good news is that I can build a new Cool App;

• “The Benefit is that everyone can get to download a new Cool App; and

• “There are no Competitors today building my new Cool Apps!”

• Need to define Benefits separately for most or all parties

• The C does not necessarily mean competitors – a legitimate alternative approach is often to do nothing

copyright SRI International

Page 57: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

How to iterate –watering holes

• Watering holes are part research, part structured brainstorming, part peer review

• They are the forum for the 16 iterations, to gather ideas, obtain resources, and learn

• Over time, they become increasingly specific and quantitative

• Meetings are called by the project Champion

• Interested parties drawn from different areas of the business

• Each is assigned a specific role in the meeting

• External information is keycopyright SRI International

Page 58: NHB Academy Museum Masterclas - Building an effective New Media Programme for Museums

Watering hole choreography1. Project Champion presents the idea again, in latest

iteration

• 20 mins max, leaving 40 mins for feedback discussion

2. Green Team feedback

• What works best? Is most valuable?

• What did you like and why? What should not change?

The Elevator Pitch• A pithy summary of your value proposition, told in one

minute

• “If you can’t get it on one page, you don’t know what you are talking about” John Browne, CEO BP

• Essential for all business plans or proposals

• The goal is to engage your customer, partner, colleague, or investor who will understand and want to learn more

• It should be memorable, repeatable, and increase the chance of getting the response you want

• People are busy – if they can’t remember and repeat your Value Proposition, they can’t do anything for you!

Building the perfect pitch• The Hook – should get their attention!

• Supports your objective

• Highlights your core message

• Excites the interest of your audience

• The Core – is your Value Proposition: NABC

• Long on communication, short on numbers and data

• The Close – should make a request and test their interest

• A next meeting? A reference? Advice?

Elevator pitch tips• Know your audience

• What are they interested in? What are their pain or delight points, where you can help?

• Make it easy to understand

• Use imagery to paint a picture. Can your mother understand what you are saying?

• Provide an anecdote

• Anecdotes convey more than facts and can be retold by the listener

• All effective communication is through stories

• Rehearse with everyone who will listen – practise!

Elevator product pitch• Are you fed up carrying an out of date guide book

around?

• Many tourists don’t. Amsterdam for example has more museums per capita than any city in the world, and welcomes 5m tourists every year, but very many don’t know what’s on, how to get there, or why it might interest them.

• For the first time, we can now help them. The CultureKey app platform is distributed free to all tourist arrivals. Navigating around the CultureKey map they can take a professionally produced audio tour of the key city sites, learn what’s on that week, download in-depth museum tours, book tickets to events – even see where they can get a cup of coffee or a good meal. The platform is supported by multiple revenue streams and is self-financing.

• Would you like me to show you how it works?

Performance pitch• Would you like to hear arguably the greatest pianist in the

world?

• Along with Lang Lang, Yundi is one of the two great superstars of Chinese piano playing. He shot to fame by winning the highly prestigious International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 2000. Then called Yundi Li, he was, at 18, the youngest player ever to do so, and the first to come from China. Previous winners of the competition, which began in 1927, include legends such as the Italian Maurizio Pollini and Argentinian Martha Argerich.

• And it’s to the Polish composer that Yundi returns in this stunning live performance in the Chinese capital. At the centre of the recital is the mighty Sonata #2, best known for the famous Funeral March in the third movement, but full of thrilling displays of pianistic brilliance elsewhere. Yundi then softens the mood with, among other works, three of Chopin’s exquisite Nocturnes. A memorable experience.

Requests For Proposal• Also known as Request for Tender

• Why use an RFP?

• Brings structure to the procurement decision

• Allows the museum to demonstrate impartiality

• Allows risks and benefits to be identified clearly upfront

• Requires the museum to specify what it wants to purchase

• Informs supplier community that the process is competitive, and encourages them to make their best effort

• Ensures that suppliers respond factually to requirements

• Allows for wide distribution and response
