Demand
Reduced
resources
Competition for
attention
The essentials
Identify the
backlog
Documenta
-tion
procedures
Collections
mgmt
policy
Prioritising the backlog
“value” status
Conservation
/preservation
processing
Now what?
• Cataloguing is a process, with a product
but
• Funders want outcomes: so what?
what will people be able to do that they couldn’t do before?
Why this? Why us? Why now? Why do it?
Business case (very generic)
Issue
• What is it?!
Solutio
n
• How can we take advantage of the opportunity/address the problem?
Approa
ch
• Viable options – including Do Nothing. Costs of each option.
Risks
• What are the risks associated with each option?
• What are the risks of doing nothing?
Value
• What’s the value of each option?
“Social” outcomes
• Greater use of “community assets”
Organisational outcomes
• Strategic fit
• Invest to save
• Risk management
• Income generation?
Is it for you?
Mission
Do you need the funding to deliver
your mission?
Is your mission aligned with
funders’ priorities?
Is there buy-in within your
organisation (strategic &
operational levels)?
Capacity
Do you have the resources to
pursue the opportunity?
If successful do you have the
capacity to deliver?
Do you have a clear model for
delivery, including unit costs?
The Opportunity
Do you have access to funders?
Do you meet their criteria?
Can you answer the “why us, why
now, so what” questions?
Chances of success
Do you need partner(s)? – can you
find them?
Can you evidence your outcomes in
the way funders expect?
Do you add value?
Top tips
• Be realistic about capacity
• Be bold!
• Use the language of social outcomes
• Provide evidence
• Form relationships
