Digital Generator is a short-term initiative to support Canadian arts groups, collectives, and organizations to build their digital capacity and transform their business model and operations.

A digital approach can transform the way you operate and offers the opportunity to:

• deepen your relationship with your public and engage new audiences and markets
• collect and analyse data to gain insights into your public and understand your impact
• improve specific areas of business with digital technology to lower costs and increase efficiency
• generate new revenue streams
• collaborate and connect with others
• build new partnerships and networks to improve digital capacity
• transform your business model for long-term sustainability.

Stream 1 provides support to:

• measure the digital readiness of your group or organization (for example digital maturity assessment)
• identify the digital gaps and possibilities for your group or organization (for example digital needs assessment, digital security assessment, technical audit)
• create a plan for leveraging digital opportunities (for example digital strategic plan, discoverability plan, business model redesign)
• create a plan for increasing the digital public accessibility of your group or organization and work (for example digital accessibility audit, plan for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [WCAG] compliance)
• increase the digital skills of your staff (e.g. workshops, training)
• conduct research or undertake planning for the creation and governance of shared digital resources (for example consultation, business model design, governance plan).
