Institute of Sustainable Heritage writes:
Cultural heritage organisations have been under considerable pressures for at least half a century, resulting in closures and reduction of service.
The literature shows that the sector lacks up-to-date, accessible organisational knowledge to deal with the increased operational requirements caused by these pressures.
This PhD research develops an organisational knowledge design for cultural heritage; a synergic design (curating organisations and sector support working together) and methodical application (across the sector’s common operations) of manuals, toolkits, and associated software, that empower individuals and teams, and improve organisational performance (delivery of cultural, social, economic, and environmental objectives).
