Based on extensive research and decades of experience, museum
analyst and planner John W. Jacobsen provides both the theoretical
underpinnings and the operational pragmatics of measuring any
museum's intentional impact and performance by using 1,025
indicators drawn from 51 expert sources. Measuring Museum Impact
and Performance: Theory and Practice provides museum professionals
internationally with a clear, very open process that will improve
their museum's value and performance by selecting indicators that
monitor whether they are realizing their desired public, private,
personal and institutional values. The book is not prescriptive,
but liberating, as the framework recognizes that each museum needs
to decide on its own purposes and priorities. The book is organized
in two parts: "Part 1: Theory" is scholarly and builds on the
museum field's rich literature; and "Part 2: Practice" provides
step-by-step methods for any museum to set up its own dashboard of
prioritized impact and performance indicators. Substantive
attachments include: the list of the 51 source documents for the
MIIP indicators; definitions of terms and data fields; a long list
of precedented museum impacts; measurement formulas and worksheet
templates, filled in for a sample museum; and the MIIP 1.0 database
available online. Readers will get the following benefits: *A
literature review of prior work on measuring museum value *An
analysis of eleven well-established evaluation frameworks that
synthesize into a revolutionary, yet practical, Museum Theory of
Action *A robust and searchable menu of 1,025 existing and
aspirational indicators (the MIIP 1.0 database) that you can use to
start your own selection *An analysis of the MIIP database using
the Theory of Action that reveals 14 areas of potential museum
impacts and benefits *A process to select and prioritize your
museum's intentional purposes and desired impacts *A process to
determine, measure and compare your museum's key performance
indicators (KPIs) *A process to set-up and conduct peer museum
comparisons *Procedures and examples of how to capture and report
data used in your selected indicators *Principles for using
indicator data to inform museum management decisions
