Heritage and Cultural Sector IT Programme Management

Heritage and cultural organisations face unique technology challenges. They must preserve and digitise vast collections, modernise ageing infrastructure, deliver compelling visitor experiences through technology, and manage vendor relationships across highly specialised markets. Elisabeth Butler provides independent programme management for museums, galleries, archives, and national heritage bodies that need experienced delivery leadership.

Digitisation and Collections Management

Elisabeth manages technology programmes that digitise physical collections, implement collections management systems, and ensure long term digital preservation. She understands the balance between technology ambition and the careful handling that cultural assets demand.

Infrastructure Modernisation

Many heritage organisations operate from historic buildings with complex infrastructure constraints. Elisabeth manages network upgrades, cybersecurity improvements, and cloud migration programmes that work within the physical limitations of listed buildings and protected sites.

Programme Recovery in Heritage

Elisabeth has direct experience recovering stalled programmes in the heritage sector. She has stepped into complex situations involving multiple vendor failures and stakeholder misalignment, restructured delivery, and brought programmes back on track.
