Getting $*it Done: Implementing Your Digital Strategy (MCN2015)Jane Alexander
Over the last few years, museums have developed strategic plans to leverage technology in support of goals such as community engagement, institutional alignment, scholarship, media production and artistic excellence. Multiple museums have created Digital Strategies (or other tools such as Road Maps or Guiding Principles) to guide these efforts. Museum technology departments have been reorganized and comprehensive back-end strategies and museum wide processes created to activate their world-class collections, connect art with people, and drive on-site and online attendance. HOWEVER, the big questions remain: How are museums implementing these strategies? What processes do they use to support and approve digital initiatives? How do they measure success? How do they keep strategies current and top-of-mind? How do they get support from management and donors? What works and more importantly what doesn’t?
This session will look at how The Cleveland Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The National Gallery and Philadelphia Museum of Art are approaching digital strategy and implementation. Panelists will explore the scope and core elements of each museum’s digital strategy; staffing requirements and the interdepartmental steering team put in place to guide digital strategy; the backend systems put in place to support flexible access, both in theory and practice; and the effort required to pull everything together. As an added bonus, panelists will describe any missteps along the way and how hurdles were overcome effectively.Purpose and objectives - attendees will:Learn several different but overlapping approaches to digital strategy, with the pros and cons of each.Learn specific methods for thinking and acting strategically to deliver digital and technology initiatives.Learn practical approaches to developing a meaningful technology and digital media strategy.Learn communication skills and how to develop buy-in across the organization.Learn how to build strong and effective partnerships across an organization.Plus: plenty of opportunities for questions and answers.Format: Multi-presenter panel, with Q&A woven in throughout the session.Theme: Leadership

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.

5. the perceived value of local developers
• DevCSI conducted a stakeholder survey:
• 495 respondents including developers, their managers, IT directors,
vendors, funders, users (academics, librarians, researchers)
• 75%+ agreement that local developers understand the local context and
act as a bridge between remote service providers, open source
communities, and local end users, and add value by integrating into
local contexts
• 75% agreement that local developers work closely with end users to
deliver innovation (more work needed though)
• 70% agreement that local developers are undervalued as evidenced by
short term contracts, lack of professional development or career
opportunities and poor management
5
6. the value of the local developer
• can understand local conditions better than an external supplier
• is more accessible - especially when adopting agile development
techniques
• with DevCSI, is now backed by a thriving and growing community of peer
developers working elsewhere in HE
• through web APIs, can tailor remote services to idiosyncratic local needs -
can make cheap services into good services
• can engage the technical people in an external supplier - not just the pre-
sales people!
• can engage with and exploit available open source developments
7. Example - MidKent College
• implemented the PLP modules for Moodle
• took an existing open-source component and adapted it to local needs
• worked very closely with local users, adopting the Scrum methodology for
Agile development
• “They love it that we listened to what they said, went away and came up with
a solution, and it worked!”
8. Example - Lincoln University
• Student as Producer
• sourced developer effort and skills from the student cohort
• “demonstrated to us that students can have the requisite skills, enthusiasm
and experience to enable us to innovate rapidly”
10. DevCSI
• JISC-funded project in the UK
• managed by Mahendra Mahey of the Innovation Support Centre at
UKOLN
• in our 4th year of funding
• http://devcsi.ukoln.ac.uk
10
11. events for developers - building capacity
• many smaller events
• networking
• co-development
• hackdays
• consultancy
• training & learning
• David Flanders’s Hierarchy of
Developer Needs (with apologies to
Abraham Maslow)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dff1978/3044660630/
11
12. dev8D
• major annual community event for developers, primarily working in HE in the
UK (but does draw international developers)
• 3-4 days
• ~250 attendees this year
• ‘lightening talks’, ‘code dojos’, demonstrations, challenges, ad hoc
collaborations, development!
• peer-peer training:
• one year we valued this training - £80,000 worth of training delivered to
the sector, by the sector (this was more than the entire cost of the event)
• much of the organising done by volunteer developers
• brings some brave users into a ‘developer-space’
12
13. challenges and ‘bounties’
• annual Developer Challenge at Open Repositories
• this year in Edinburgh, sponsored by Microsoft Research
• last year’s Open Repositories Developer Challenge:
• I found it incredibly valuable. It enabled me to make interesting and
valuable technical contacts that I wouldn’t have made otherwise, both
directly (in the developer suite) and indirectly (as a result of my and others’
challenge presentations). I’m very much looking forward to next year’s.
• developers benefit from networking, collaborating & testing ideas. Suppliers &
sponsors benefit from having their APIs tested and developed against
13
16. the strategic developer
• is experienced, both technically and in the ‘business’ of Higher Education
• is probably disguised as a manager....
• has good local (sometimes tacit) knowledge - such as the real business
processes of the institution
• has moved beyond ‘problem solving’ as the extent of their perspective
• can align technical planning and interventions to strategic goals - has an
institutional perspective
• gives a technical-development dimension to strategic planning
• offers leadership, beyond project-management and can identify new ICT-
based opportunities to innovate
• does not really exist as a role, yet, but if it did....

18. "If the UK's creative businesses want to
thrive in the digital future, you need people
who understand all facets of it integrated
from the very beginning. Take a lead from
the Victorians [...]: bring engineers into your
company at all levels, including the top."
Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google
media-training - teaching developers to explain what they are doing to non-technical people
the developer community creates the programme and pretty much runs things on the ground
valuable source of good and cheap testing for data service providers some of the people who have sponsored our events
an increasingly common model of outsourcing services to SaaS offerings Software has all too often been sold to the institution without any authoritative technical input from the institution. SaaS makes this even more likely. There is a role for the strategic developer to intercede.
we have a rich source of raw talent coming in (our students) then we lose people what’s the equivalent of the CTO in our HE institutions?
