What it means<\/h3>\n

Thought leaders are public-facing subject matter experts, who seek to proactively influence broader opinion. It is not a permanent title and it requires that the content be at the forefront of the subject matter. Thought leaders can organically emerge from inside the museum and it is not required that they be a senior leader in the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>\n

How it’s used<\/h3>\n

Museums are an excellent platform for individuals to be recognized for their expertise. The museum can empower and enable its people at all levels of the organization to develop their thought leadership capacity. Communications teams are often tasked with raising an internal thought leaders\u2019 profile by leveraging opportunities for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thought leadership is frequently a goal of museum leadership and recognized as a strategy to utilize the talents of individuals within the organization. It positions both the individuals, and the organization as leaders, and increases the visibility of the museum\u2019s work. Museums themselves can be thought leaders, staking out a consistent, focused, and publicly recognized position of expertise and thus become sought after when the subject arises in public and professional discussions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smaller museums have a brand imperative to find and keep focus as you can only be a thought leader on a few topics. Larger encyclopedic museums often struggle with focus because they are inevitably pulled in so many different directions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At encyclopedic museums it\u2019s more likely that there will be individuals with niche areas of expertise that don\u2019t represent the museum as a whole. For specialized and smaller museums however, thought leadership is an opportunity to gain recognition and public stature for the museum itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>\n

Why it matters<\/h3>\n

Thought leadership translates into greater visibility, more frequent invitations to panels and conferences, and publications within the field and for general audiences. This, in turn, bolsters a museum\u2019s public profile and funding opportunities, while also enhancing public awareness and trust. Consistent thought leadership can also help attract and keep capable employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>\n

Recommends<\/h3>\n
\n

All members of a museum should be able to contribute to an institution\u2019s thought leadership from their particular vantage point, as such it is important that all individual contributors on a museum\u2019s team should have full bios on the website so they can be more easily sought out. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
