The AmbITion project for those of you that don’t know was set up in the North West to find ways of educating arts organisations in using new tools and techniques to deal with the demand of the consumer to access arts organisations content. It has done this in a variety of ways and extremely successfully, in fact so successful have they been, that they became a England wide project and now the Scottish Arts Council have also asked them to work with their arts organizations.
One of AmbITon’s first seminars was at an event I organized in Preston in 2006, and through my day job I have been lucky to enough to work with the AmbITion team over the last four years.
Have a look at these brilliantly simple How to guides recently published by the AmbITion team.
