Connecting exercise – Critical friends and peers

Who could you talk to about your priorities? This could be colleagues or peers within or outside of your museum who can act as critical friends. It might include organisations that could be aligned to the priorities you’ve identified. Spend 10 minutes recording your ideas in your notes.

Choose one of these contacts and reach out to arrange a time to talk through your ideas.

If it’s not possible to connect at this time, you could make a plan of what you would want to discuss.

You might make this connection by sending an introductory email, engaging with a person or organisation on social media or by attending an event or networking meeting ran by an organisation. In a later exercise, we will look more closely at collaboration to support making connections.
