I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad). In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

The most important question to ask yourself before you start: If measurement shows you are not on track to achieve your goals, are you willing to change course or establish new goals altogether? What do you hope to learn? Goal setting is often rushed. It’s a preamble to an RFP. A throat clearing at the beginning of the meeting.

This is, of course, the same reason why many non-visitors don’t come to museums. It could have gone badly wrong: a larger proportion of our audience (and our peer group) might have considered our interpretation strategy as dumbing-down or a demonstration of the museum’s curatorial ignorance.

Our museum in Santa Cruz has been slammed by those who believe participatory experiences have gone too far. We always knew that the inclusion of participatory and community-centered practices in arts institutions was controversial. To me, the backlash against participatory and community-centered experiences is not surprising.

I've written a lot about this elsewhere with regard to social objects , but for the sake of this post, I'm thinking about how we create explicit ways (or not) for participants to get to know each other in the course of a museum visit.

The kind of strategic planning processes that I lead are inclusive and participatory which means that the group is consulted, the vision of the group, the energy, we kind of tap into the energy, vision, knowledge, experience of the people who will be doing the work in order to make plans.

For the social media library giveaway I asked folks to leave a comment on how they would use the books to shape their 2010 social media strategy. ADAPT my existing social media strategy based on the new things I learn and ideas I have as a result of reading the books. It takes content, strategy and elbow grease.

So then we’ll talk about what are some participatory planning methods. And so you go through a series of strategy sessions. And by the end of your planning process, you should be able to have on paper and with stakeholders bought in on shared goals, strategies, benchmarks and timeline. Of course, is it ethical?
