This document summarizes a meeting about developing the Culture Metrics project, which aims to create a digital platform for assessing the quality of arts and culture. The project tests metrics across various artforms and organizations to measure quality, experience, engagement, and organizational health. Research will explore how the data can help organizations make creative and commercial decisions and will test whether larger data sources like social media can improve insights. Initial findings suggest co-production of metrics brings value but challenges of peer assessment remain, while interest exists in integrating bigger data but capacity is currently low.

1:1 Community Interview Examples & Tips for LibrariesWiLS
Presented at WLA 2021 Annual Conference, November 19th, by Laura Damon-Moore, WiLS; Martín Alvarado, Madison Public Library; Jon Mark Bolthouse, Fond du Lac Public Library
In this session, attendees will hear about three different case studies for using 1:1 interviews as an information gathering method in a library or other municipal setting: 1) to learn how people currently use a city service and how that service might evolve to better suit community needs; 2) to learn about the wider community’s and individuals’ goals and aspirations, and challenges they see or experience in order to inform a library’s planning process; 3) to tell a more complete story of a community’s history through 1:1 interviews. Along with these case studies, session organizers will offer some best practices and practical tips for conducting 1:1 interviews to support these similar yet distinct information gathering efforts.

Presented by John Young (ODI) and Laura Harper (Wellcome) at the Public Engagement Workshop, 2-5 Dec. 2008, KwaZulu-Natal South Africa, http://scienceincommunity.wordpress.com/
In our expanding electronic world, librarians are increasingly asked to plan and manage digital projects. The challenge is articulating the scope of the project and providing a clear and succinct justification. This session outlines 5 key questions every manager must answer to define and justify any digital project:
• Why you are undertaking the project?
• What you want the project to achieve?
• For whom you are undertaking the project?
• When you will achieve it?
• How you will achieve it?
Outside In: Learning from Community Voices in Visitor Studiesgaribaygroup
This presentation discusses approaches to honoring and incorporating community voice in planning, implementation, and evaluation in informal learning projects. Issues explored include ways we might define "success" in ways that consider community perspectives, approaches that help us learn about the impact for communities, and possibilities for tracing long-term community impact.

Technology Motivators and Usage in Non-Profit Arts OrganizationsCAMT
This presentation was given at the 2007 Americans for the Arts Convention by Carnegie Mellon\'s Center for Arts Management and Technology. The goal of this project was to identify and understand the motivations behind information technology decisions in arts organizations. These motivations and decision-making processes were applied to help explain why some arts organizations may lag behind other not-for-profit organizations in technology adoption. While the unequal distribution of technology is partially due to an organization’s financial standing and the availability of “risk capital,” these two factors alone cannot fully account for the present divide.
Tools of Ethnographic Analysis in Service DesignTaneli Heinonen
Talk at Source, Deloitte Digital Melbourne.
Service design is a genuinely multi-disciplinary enterprise that borrows methods and thoughts from a wide spectrum of fields. Service designers work on problems from discovery to solution, which requires a good understanding of different stages and a capability to switch the mode of thinking between analytical and creative.
Framing the problem, getting users right and proceeding with the right insights is often crucial for the success of a service design project. Methods of ethnographic research are often used in the insight part of the projects, but the tools of analysis are applied more rarely.
Aim of this talk was to present some analytical tools of ethnographic research and social sciences that could provide new viewpoints into the process of crafting insights.

3. About the project
Ambitions:
• To create a system that allows for the cost
effective generation of large-scale data sets on
what the cultural sector believes are the key
dimensions of ‘quality’
• To explore how, and in what ways, such data
will be relevant and useful to cultural
organisations in their creative and commercial
decision making
4. NESTA/AHRC/ACE Digital R&D Fund
• 12-month project to:
– refine the quality metrics
– test the method across a wider range of artforms and
settings (60 test events)
– develop resources to help organisations run the system
themselves and create a truly automated flexible data
platform (we have to be in a position to offer a free trial to
funded arts orgs at grant end point)
– carry out academic research to test the value of the
approach
5. Partners
• Academic Partner – Abi Gilmore, Kostas Arvanitis, Franzi
Florack, University of Manchester
• Tech Partner – Culture Counts
• Cultural Partners – 20 of them, including ROH, RSC, Halle,
Contact, Royal Exchange Theatre, Home, Whitworth Art
Gallery, Manchester Museum.
6. 2 main categories of metrics
Quality
• Quality of product
• Quality of experience
• Quality & depth of
engagement
• Quality of creative process
Organisational Health
• Financial metrics
• Quality of cultural
leadership
• Quality of relationships &
partnerships
7. Quality dimensions (self, peer, public)
Dimension Metric Statement
Rigour ‘It was well thought through and put together’
Distinctiveness ‘It was different from things I’ve experienced before’
Captivation ‘It was absorbing and held my attention’
Relevance ‘It has something to say about the world in which we live’
Meaning ‘It meant something to me personally’
Challenge ‘It was thought provoking’
Enthusiasm ‘I would come to something like this again’
Presentation ‘It was well produced and presented’
Local impact ‘It is important that it’s happening here’
8. Quality dimensions (self & peer only)
Dimension Metric Statement
Concept ‘It was an interesting idea / programme’
Originality ‘It was ground-breaking’
Risk ‘The artists / curators really challenged themselves with this work’
Excellence
(global)
‘It is amongst the best of its type in the world’
Excellence
(national)
‘It is amongst the best of its type in the UK’
9. How do we measure?
• Triangulation of evaluation by self, peers and
public
• Online data capture through the Culture
Counts system via a web app or via post event
surveys (urls posted via email)
• 9 dimensions evaluated by all 3 groups
• 5 extra dimensions evaluated by self and
peers
11. What types of insights are generated?
• The triangulation element is vital to the insight and
reflection process – allowing cultural organisations to
judge the extent to which they are achieving their
creative objectives
• Being able to anticipate how audience members and
peers will respond to a work is a reflection of the
quality / maturity of creative and cultural leadership
in an organisation
12. What types of insights are generated?
• Integrating quality metrics with audience size
and profile and financial data allows for a
sophisticated assessment of
– How successfully organisations balance creative,
commercial and audience objectives
– How different kinds of cultural experience create
different kinds of value
• Developing prompts to help organisations
understand their evaluation results and use
them to reflect on their creative practice
13. Research and data strategy
Bring together test event-generated data and
analytics with qualitative, collaborative
research with technology and cultural partners
to answer these questions:
• What is the potential value of Culture Counts to the
different stakeholder groups (arts organisations, policy
makers, critics, investors, and ‘the public’)?
• How does Culture Counts support and impact upon (DDD)
decision-making within these stakeholder groups (for
example, in relation to programming, funding and audience
motivation to attend further experiences)?
14. 1. What does co-production bring to the appraisal of
quality in arts and cultural experiences (and how)?
2. Do bigger data improve D-D-D (and how do we
understand the processes which mediate and generate
big data)?
Research methods
• Thematic literature and evidence reviews
• Qualitative research - documented workshops, interviews and
observation and reflective practice with research stakeholders
• Critical friends group
Further critical focus on
main project innovations
15. Research findings: co-production
Literature review findings
These endorse Culture Counts as a methodology for performance measurement in terms of
“artistic vibrancy” and quality – ownership and leadership by sector, brings together range of
internal and external stakeholders.
“It’s difficult to do that with everyone so the metrics system I suppose gives you a bit of
safety ground if there are peers that are coming who you don’t know so well or have a
relationship with. At least it’s managed and structured, it’s moderated by lots of other
things, but it’s only really going to work if everybody does it.”
Qualitative research with partners and peers
• Cultural partners appreciated the chance to reflect collectively on their evaluation
frameworks, and to add value to the data they already collect
• They are ready and willing to integrate with other existing data and value frameworks
(e.g. Audience Finder, their own box office data)
However
• comparison across organisations (benchmarking) rarely happens organically, and when it
does it tends to be informal - there is interest in comparing findings and experiences
across art form but the real value of the data is for internal evaluation
• There are challenges to encouraging peer assessment, but the persuasiveness of digital
platform and the standardised ‘metrics’ help to provoke interesting conversations
16. Research findings: big data
Qualitative research:
There is interest in integrating with/using bigger data – e.g. from social
media:
• Social media outputs can offer chance for ongoing conversations
• They are considered the ‘real voice’ of audiences
• But at the same time acknowledge as different to survey responses “it’s
sometimes about getting the retweet or favourite from the organisation”
• General reticence and lack of awareness about potential of big data “what
we need is ‘just enough data”
• There is general caution and wariness about the amount of data collection
required by funders without clear rationale - “we don’t know what they
do with it – probably nothing”
Resource and capacity for data management & analysis is low (and ‘big data’
is virtually non-existent) in most arts organisations - Culture Counts is
perceived to be an effective way to increase this capacity
17. Now: your chance to give it a go!
