The Balanced Value Impact Model


We have 125,000 art works available in high resolution. Anything you want, you can do with it...

So now we can say “I love Rijks”, the Rijksmuseum was a very dull, traditional museum and now we can say proudly “I love Rijks”...

So if you think about impact then maybe love is the biggest impact. Peter Gorgels

“the measurable outcomes arising from the existence of a digital resource that demonstrate a change in the life or life opportunities of the community”



The Case for Impact

We are more effective and efficient in delivering change and tangible benefits (Internal Impact);

Our organisation is gaining strategic advantage through the innovation inherent in this digital activity (Innovation Impact);

We are delivering a strong economic benefit to our community that demonstrate the worth and value of our endeavours in clear monetary terms (Economic Impact); and

the community has been changed by the resource in beneficial ways that can be clearly identified (Social Impact)


Assigning Values – Welcome Library

Perspective Value Driver

Social Utility + Community

Innovation Utility + Community

Internal Education + Inheritance/Bequest

Economic Utility

This demonstrates a strategic emphasis towards measuring active use and community benefit from the Wellcome Library Codebreakers project. They have a desire to measure value for money but not to over emphasise the economic element compared to other priorities. They also want to measure how they have grown in skills and capacities and delivered on institutional mission - thus, the focus on education and inheritance/bequest for the Internal Perspective.



Stakeholders & Digital Ecosystems
