Smithsonian’s Strategic Planning

What’s the Smithsonian been up to since last year? Michael Edson, Director of Web & New Media Strategy, Office of the CIO, Smithsonian Institution, updated the audience on the institution’s new vision for a Smithsonian Commons. One of last year’s keynote speakers, Edson talked about the prototyping efforts (surprisingly low tech, but effective) and how transparency helped the process along. Edson’s slides, which have more information than he could cover in the talk, are on Slideshare.
