Forward Planning : A Handbook of Business, Corporate and Development Planning for Museums and Galleries.

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xii, 171 pp, ills. From the introduction: "The first step in the path to modern management is the preparation of a forward plan. Museums and other heritage bodies are under considerable pressure to change and develop their management procedures in order to respond to changing times and new problems With limited and ever more constrained funding, and increased competition, careful planning is essential. A simple transfer of ideas and principles of business planning from industry, commerce government to the world of museums is not adequate: the particular needs of the heritage context must be addressed. This book is designed to provide a specific set of practical guidelines for museum and heritage professionals. Forward Planning provides a complete basic guide, from the principles on which planning is founded, through drawing up the plan itself, implementation and monitoring, through to the wider potentials that good planning permits."
