Contemporary DAM Leadership – Innovations and Approaches to Succeed in an Ever-Changing Landscape

28 June, 15:10 PM

The DAM landscape is constantly changing. DAM leaders are expected both to deliver on everyday operational needs and, at the same time, to absorb and manage the persistent upheaval that characterises the operations they manage. The pressure to adapt and adopt is driven by the seemingly endless and dramatic supply of improvements that will ensure all the digital assets are completely "at the ready" now!

A workshop covering best practice:

  • AI (of course!)
  • Advances in relationships and discovery stemming from large language models and graphing, natural language tools, and semantic management.
  • Ethics and their evolution – keeping metadata and descriptive information in line with contemporary expectations.
  • New and evermore requirements for automated file transformation.
  • Digital formats and enhancements – beyond those with which we are familiar.
  • Deeper platform-centric connectivity in a content supply chain.

As we all know with “digital” – “everything new gets old". Leaders stay ahead. That’s why they’re leaders.

Plus: Four critical aspects of DAM leadership:

  • Staying fresh and up-to-date while avoiding overload – the secrets of maintaining one’s own professional development.
  • Being prepared, being engaged and being ready with relevant data and reports and having a seat at the governance table.
  • The art of recruiting and managing talented DAM labour – including addressing “we need these skills immediately”.
  • Wise use of resources: a team of highly talented consultants and DAM management serve providers can work wonders or just make everyday life better. Who are they? Where do you find them? How do you manage such resources?

Before the workshop: Submit or prepare and bring problems you would like solved/issues you wish to discuss.

At the workshop: Graham Allan, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting and David Lipsey, a Founder of the field of DAM, will discuss the issues and elicit answers to the problems in a lively, interactive session.

After the workshop: Graham and David will also be available for 1:1 meetings.

HS DAM events provide me with the opportunity to network and get a flavour of products and plug ins being used and how people are integrating technology into their DAMs.

HS DAM events are an invaluable opportunity to meet a wide range of DAM practitioners, futurologists, and deep specialists. You'll find parallels in industries you know and new concepts from industries you don't, that will make you question and improve your practice.
