The challenge aheadThe challenge ahead
Threatened cuts and closures shorten our horizon
The loss of internal skills and capacity may result in ‘collections blight’
This is fast becoming a ‘self-help’ sector (again)
The problems we had – too much stuff, too little time, disposal too difficult – haven’t yet been resolved
Moving past the Digital agenda into the collaborative service agenda
There will be a return to fortune in 5 years time – will we be ready with the next big idea?

The vital role of networksThe vital role of networks
Museums have always run on formal and informal networks
Chunks are being taken out of the infrastructure for expertise
Self-starting, self-sustaining networks are better suited to their purpose
Professional orgs need to learn to collaborate in agile, local, effective ways
You know this – networking is about much, much more than sharing knowledge
Networks can’t replace the loss of curatorial knowledge, but they can help fill some of the gaps.
