Risk Management and Prioritisation in Collections Care

 

We work with heritage organisations to assess risks to collections, establish priorities, and plan practical actions to reduce risk

​

We support collections care planning, resource allocation and funding decisions through risk assessment and prioritisation.

​

Reviews, assessments and prioritisation

​

Support can include:

​

• collections risk assessments, including use of the ABC Risk Management methodology where appropriate;

• comparison of risk reduction options, including costs, resource requirements and feasibility;

• facilitated workshops to establish priorities for action and investment;

• identification of policy, procedural and resource gaps affecting collections risk;

• review of risks and priorities following changes in staffing, budgets or responsibilities; and

• tailored risk management training.

​

From assessment to action

​

A risk assessment should provide a clear basis for deciding what to do: which risks deserve attention first, what different actions would require, and which risks remain when action is delayed or deferred.

​

We help organisations turn assessment findings into achievable priorities and explain the reasoning behind those priorities to staff, senior management and funders.

​

What you receive

​

The scope and outputs are agreed for each assignment. These can include a collections risk assessment report, prioritised recommendations, an assessment of risk reduction options or an action plan setting out responsibilities, resource requirements and next steps.
