In an unexpected circumstance, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, cultural heritage content cannot be suspended, but must be delivered online, relying on the available digital technology. On the one hand, cultural artifacts will remain physical artifacts delivering tangible value. On the other, this tangible value is increasingly enhanced by digital technologies, calling for new perspective on innovation. Among the various digital enabling technologies being considered in the digital transformation of cultural institutions, digitization and connectivity have been associated with new possibilities and opportunities for innovation in general and for search and recombination of cultural content in particular. What has often been missing is the systematic consideration of digitization and connectivity as forces that not only creates opportunities but also changes the organizational variables that might affect some of the built-in assumptions in the extant innovation management literature. Danilo Pesce explains digital technologies to support new forms of resilience during the COVID-19. DANILO PESCE is a postdoctoral research fellow at Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy) and a visiting scholar at Cass Business School (London, UK). His research interests are mainly focused on the organizational and industry-level changes triggered by digital technologies adoption.
