Independent advice & practical support · Museums
I help museums make decisions about collection systems, improve the tools and workflows they use every day, and carry digital projects through into practice.
01 / SERVICES
Assess a supplier proposal, define requirements or compare alternatives. Understand the costs, dependencies and trade-offs before committing.
A concise decision brief with options, costs, risks and a recommendation.
Adapt MuseumPlus configuration, develop reports and improve collection workflows. Work with your team to address recurring tasks and make the system more useful in daily museum work.
More about MuseumPlus consultingAn agreed configuration or a working report, checked with your team and documented.
I coordinate tasks, suppliers and museum teams — from system adaptations and interfaces to online collections. I support testing and help your team establish new workflows in everyday practice.
A realistic project plan, clear responsibilities and agreed criteria for testing and handover.
A focused engagement starts with one clear task. We agree the result, scope and fee before work begins.
For interfaces and online collections, I define requirements, coordinate delivery and support acceptance. Custom software development and ongoing technical operation are separate services for qualified technical partners, with responsibilities agreed in advance.
A LOOK AT THE WORK
An independent review turns a supplier proposal into a basis for action. This example shows how I structure the result.
Discuss a decision you need to makeILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A CLIENT CASE
What needs to improve, which systems are involved, and what a workable result requires.
Compare the proposed approach with feasible alternatives: effort, costs, dependencies and ongoing operation.
A reasoned recommendation, its limits, open questions and the next steps for the museum.
02 / HOW I WORK
Recommendations are based on your institution’s requirements, resources and existing systems.
We agree the question, the deliverable and how to check it, together with scope, responsibilities and fee.
A review of the relevant systems and workflows, with recommendations and a plan for the work.
Together, we carry out the agreed steps, check the results and establish how your team will continue working with them.
