| Project Detail |
EXCENTRIC - Excelling Human-Centric Collaborative Ecosystems for Smart Digital Transition in CCSI – supports the digital transition aimed at sustainable and responsible growth in the European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI). It addresses underutilization of data in the daily operations of specific experience sectors: live music, festivals, theatre, and museums. These sectors are distinguished by their capacity to create value by providing audience-centric intangible cultural experiences. EXCENTRIC develops and implements a Collaborative Data Practice through the execution of four sector-specific and two cross-sectoral pilots under real working conditions. By co-designing, testing, and equipping organizations within experience sectors with operations-centric smart data infrastructure and tools, we can effectively integrate data-driven innovations into their strategic operations in programming, pricing, resource management, and audience engagement. The project applies human-centric principles by actively involving the creative workforce’s needs, skills, and interests of pilot organizations and their extended network in the tools’ development processes. It builds organizational capabilities, data literacy, and skill sets to enable the adoption, diffusion, and customization of digital tools, and supports sustainable innovation beyond the project’s duration. At the policy level, EXCENTRIC will formulate evidence-based recommendations for successful digital transformation by employing innovative practices and identifying relevant metrics based on pilot results. The project’s unique approach pioneers the concept of Collaborative Data Practices in the CCSI, which has proven effectiveness in pharma, energy, and logistics. It aims to break down silos within the CCSI and foster ecosystem thinking. EXCENTRICs exceptional consortium, with six pilots across six countries, and three Pan-European umbrella organizations broadens its impact and fosters adoption. |
