Dear all,

INTERCOM would hereby like to take the opportunity to announce its
latest publication INTERCOM Management Scenarios - Training exercises
for museums round the world.

The publication is a portfolio of international fictional case studies
from leading museum management experts and is designed to create a forum
of open discussion among museum professional at all levels and those in
academic training and develop management and leadership skills in
museums.

The scenarios are based on issues common to museums around the world and
pose questions about what to do in particular situations, including
issues around good governance, ethics, how to deal with press and media,
cultural property and social responsibility, through to how to manage
the museum's external environment. 

The idea is that these scenarios make you think outside your immediate
daily environment and encourage open discussion. 

David Fleming, President of INTERCOM, says:

"I have always enjoyed exercises of this kind. They encourage us to
think laterally about problems which we may encounter, and I think they
give confidence in that they suggest there is no simple correct answer
to many of the issues we deal with."

The scenarios can now be downloaded as a FREE resource from INTERCOM's
website. Just go to www.intercom.museum for more information. If you
require a hard copy, please contact [log in to unmask]  

We would also welcome your feedback and would like to hear from you, if
you decide to try out the scenarios. The aim is to continue to develop
this series of scenarios as an ongoing training resource for ICOM
members.

The project was made possible by a special grant to celebrate ICOM's
60th anniversary.

We hope you find this new resource useful.

With best wishes,


Francoise McClafferty
Secretary-Treasurer INTERCOM
