Groundbreaking Collaboration

March 25, 2024 in Het Financieele Dagblad “Digital Transformation & Cyber Security” - Groundbreaking collaboration is an important step for digital transformation in the cultural sector. The changing needs of today's youth, the cultural audience of the future, offer opportunities for the cultural sector to explore new ways of creating, organizing, and experiencing cultural offerings. Digitizing or even digitally transforming prepares the cultural sector for this. DEN supports the sector in this digital transformation process with the help of the Ministry of Education, Culture & Science. 

Through the development of digital leadership and an innovative organizational culture, cultural organizations can take steps in the process of digital transformation. This process requires a gradual move toward a fundamentally different way of working, driven by the increasing digital innovations in society and based on solid knowledge of the changing audience behavior that comes with it. 'Groundbreaking collaboration is indispensable in this,' says Maaike Verberk, director of DEN.
