Episode description
Saskia Scheltjens has been spearheading change her whole career. When she took a new position, as Head of Research Services, at the Rijksmuseum in 2016 to unify multiple departments into one cohesive division, she was ready for the challenge. The department is dedicated to digitizing and opening the collections from both the museum and library - which results in a mind boggling amount of data.
Listen to our conversation to hear how she got staff on board with the changes (which were 18 years in the making!) and stays sane in the midst of all the data.
Plus, commentary by Catherine Devine, Global Business Strategy Leader for Libraries and Museums at the end of the episode.
