The Museum of London Regional Development Programme is
pleased to offer:
Practical information management in a changing world
Wednesday 28th September 2011
Museum of London
Clore Learning Centre
9.30am - 12.30pm
Following last year's Improving Information Management workshops, this
session is the first of three aimed at helping museums develop
appropriate policies and strategies for the management of information in
a rapidly changing economic and operating environment.
Many museums in the region and nationally are experiencing a reduction
in resources and/or changes to their status or governance. Effective
information policies and information management can be vital tools in
helping museums make important decisions and maintain confidence in all
aspects of their work. They can also be significant tools in creating
opportunities for organisations to survive and thrive in difficult
times.
Looking beyond the collections, but retaining a museum-specific focus,
these sessions will help participants begin the process of identifying
and addressing the kinds of information management issues likely to
arise from a reduction in available resources or from changes to museum
governance. The sessions will help delegates identify the risks,
priorities and opportunities presented to their museums from an
information management perspective.
This first half-day session will:
* Work with delegates to identify information management issues
arising from changes to their respective operating environments;
* Use the London Museums Hub Information Policy Framework as a
benchmark for identifying aspects of information policy and management
which may either be vulnerable or particularly significant in the
current environment;
* Provide a framework for assessing the impact (positive and
negative) on information management of ongoing change;
* Help delegates to identify and prioritise practical steps which can
be taken even within organisations subject to change and uncertainty.
It is a participative workshop and will include the review and analysis
of real-life information policies from a range of organisations.
It is aimed at staff with responsibility for any aspect of information
management within their museums, particularly those with
responsibilities across their organisation.
Although the session will cover some areas already addressed by previous
workshops, the content of this session will be of relevance to previous
delegates now encountering change within their organisations. It will
also be appropriate for delegates who have not attended previous
sessions.
Two further workshops later in the autumn will develop further the
issues and themes which this session will address.
The session will be presented by Alice Grant Consulting Ltd.
