Dear List members,
I notice that today is the deadline for submissions to the Museum Association's Workforce Action Plan consultation:
http://www.museumsassociation.org/campaigns/141222012-workforce-action-plan-consultation
I mention it here to give people working in digital technology a chance to send views, as I suspect they will be extremely under-represented otherwise.
The blueprint being consulted upon has no mention of digital skills requirements. Nor does it address the need for museums to consider how our business processes have already been disrupted by the impact of digital becoming the primary method of communication in the general public (that is - our visitors and audiences) in recent years.
It would be great if as many participants here could take a moment to pitch in even a single brief comment or reflection. It can only help them ensure they are aware of crucial aspects of workforce development required by digital change.
