Museum Leadership – Taking the pulse, Part 1
In an age marked by numerous challenges, INTERCOM offers a possibility to discuss difficult leadership challenges museums are facing today. Short dynamic sessions offer participants an opportunity to interact and take part in panels and discussions. Both sessions include different presentation formats – research results, book promotion and short presentations to generate exchanges among the experts and participants. The central topic is leadership. From fostering the resilience of institutions to taking care of the health of our planet and taking part in regeneration of our economies and societies – museums roles matter much more than we can think of. By highlighting the importance of leadership INTERCOM is looking for various experiences to support museum leaders in building capacity that will work in new circumstances. The sessions will help cultivate within leaders the essential skills to lead their organizations in difficult time such as active listing and agile monitoring which help set the conditions in which museums can ideally operate. Taking the pulse with INTERCOM is a good step to make and can help you to make a proper museum diagnosis. Join INTERCOM and see how it works – ICOM general conference offers you this unique possibility for exchange.

Training the Trainers: Facilitation Skills Workshops for leaders in Conservation Risk Assessment – PART 1
Five ICOM International Committees including ICOM-CC, DRMC, ICTOP, ICMS & INTERCOM collaborated on an ICOM Solidarity Project, responding to the challenges museums face. Participants learnt that a facilitator brings together the focus of a diverse group of individuals with complex needs towards a common shared objective or goal. The aim of this project was to harness existing experience, knowledge and practice in the advocacy, teaching and implementation of Conservation Risk Assessment (CRA) to museum communities as a tool and practice for sustainable recovery and resilience. CRA is an analytical and methodological tool used for identification, evaluation and mitigation of risks posed by the 10 agents of deterioration. These two linked sessions will highlight successful outcomes of this training through presentations and discussions. New security technology is not just useful for preventing and detecting crime but adds real benefits for the whole museum.

Museum Governance – Something to Watch!
How founders and owners support your museums plays a vital part in running your institution in general. This session deals with governance and management issues. INTERCOM is committed to introduction of a grid to develop appropriate governance codes and explores good governance practices through research and exchange with museums. Therefore, this session, an outcome of our cooperation on this with the Museum Watch Committee of CIMAM, will focus on discussion and exchange. In the time of pandemics, we had enough webinars and presentations – we learnt a lot and now is the time to share. Take part in the session and do not miss the opportunity to share your vision of good governance. Networking and participation are among the core values of professional excellence which ICOM promotes so be encouraged to come and discuss the theme with us.

Expert Session: Resilience of Historic House Museums and their Collections to Risks posed by Climate Change, Environmental Disasters, and Conflict Zones
The expert session will address risks to historic buildings and their collections by focussing on preventive conservation issues and the steps needed before, during and after disaster response. What resources should be allocated to mitigate risks to the built structure? How can museums develop risk management plans with community involvement? How should a museum prioritize collection items to be saved in case of emergency and how should they allocate resources for this purpose?
