Planning

All museum organisations need to plan � whether for a potential new museum, or simply for year on year operations. SMC has produced written advice that can help you address your planning needs.

Big Questions? Big Answers
Now in its second edition this publication offers advice for potential new museum developments, illustrated with 21 case studies from projects throughout Scotland and providing a step-by-step guide. A list of essential questions will help to focus the planning stages of your project.
This publication was first produced with financial assistance from Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

Forward Planning guidance
This simple guide to forward planning is aimed specifically at smaller organisations, some of which may be embarking on a formal planning process for the first time. The guidance includes the steps and questions you will need to consider in creating a forward plan, as well as a model Action Plan to be copied for your own use.

Business Development Resource
A comprehensive listing of organisations that provide services or web based information pertinent to independent museums, but useful for anyone involved in developing museums. Areas covered include project and business planning.
