Note: the Blueprint book club will start next week. Last week, I sat down on a toilet in our museum and found myself looking at an interactive station intended to test a “Legends of the Stall” sign concept for the restrooms. And increasingly, what I’m trying to enable is a culture of experimentation. Sorry for the delay.

I asked Wendy Pollock and Kathleen McLean, authors of the new book The Convivial Museum , to share a guest post about the book. At first glance, our new book, The Convivial Museum , is about the most simple ideas. And that's where this book comes in. Why, then, has it taken so long to offer people a seat?"

We thought this would be an easy part of the book to write – all we’d have to do is find examples of how boards online, opening up decisionmaking to outside influences. There were no examples – so the last chapter of the book is speculative, based on the best thinking of the people who have looked at networked governance.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Will the artists ruin the museum with their plant vacations and coatroom concerts? But for museum and art wonks, it could be. The book is fascinating on multiple levels.

There's no better example than the public dashboards of the Indiana Art Museum - Innovation is about opening up and letting the outside in. Roxy Allen mentioned in the chat that one of the biggest changes will be branding "from the inside out" - employees have a mouth piece - which is hard to control and a culture change.

Two weeks ago, we inaugurated a Creativity Lounge on the third floor of our museum. It's a little living room in a lobby area that invites people to lounge on comfortable chairs, leaf through magazines and books related to art and Santa Cruz history, and generally hang out. Lisa was thrilled that her work was on display at the museum.

As always, I read this article through the lens of our arts and cultural customers. How can these themes make a positive impact on the local museum or symphony? As a result, I put together my perspective on this game changing technology for arts and cultural organizations. Are the same trends applicable? If not, it needs to be.

There are people or even organizational cultures comfortable with using the existing tools and are slow to change, while early adopters and agile cultures keep learning and moving. Interesting to discover a line from the book, “Social Media is a contact sport, not a spectator sport&# was a conversation driver.
