This 2015 report provides analysis on the period 2013-2015, giving a detailed sense of how the picture is changing for arts and cultural organisations. It is based on a survey taken by over 900 research participants in UK.

This year’s report shows that while the positive impact of technology on organisations remains high, there is a gap between the ambition of arts and cultural organisations in relation to digital technology and their ability to execute on those ambitions.

The report also outlines that experimental organisations and those that ascribe the highest levels of importance to digital technology are more likely to experience high levels of impact from these areas of work.

As outcomes of the research, a series of thematic factsheets is available together with the online portal providing access to all the data of the period under examination in the report.
