The problems DAM leaders live with daily but rarely solve on their own

Observation:

Often, the hardest parts of digital asset management aren't technical; they're organizational and behavioral, like driving real adoption, building governance that survives turnover, proving ROI to a skeptical CFO, applying consistent, accurate metadata, and taming rights at scale.

DAM leaders know these gaps exist but lack the time, mandate, or skillset to close them.

Context:

Twenty years after launching its digital asset management program, the National Gallery of Art is exploring what comes next for a mature enterprise environment.

As DAM continues to evolve from a repository for collection assets into an enterprise platform supporting a broad range of institutional content and creativity, the organization must balance scalability, sustainability, governance, and ongoing innovation.

What we are doing and how:

How Progressive Insurance is transforming a creative workflow to streamline communication across the entire creative asset lifecycle.
