Health Check Tool

Over the past four years, we’ve successfully used the Museums’ Organisational Health Check Tool in our Recharge grants programme, to help museums carry out an organisational self-assessment to identify priorities for improvement:

• "This process was one of the most useful exercises we’ve undertaken. It was a simple process, yet at the same time very thorough"
• "We all felt that it was very useful to work with colleagues to look at where we are as a museum service and to take time to think about the areas that need improving"
• "This process was very beneficial to us as a small museum within a larger organisation. It created a very positive space and structure for communication within the organisation"
• "The self-assessment health check was a hugely helpful process to allow us the time and space to really understand the challenges that we face as an organisation and focus on what we need to do to start addressing them"

The Health Check is quick and easy to use and takes no more than three and a half hours to complete, with help from Museum Development London.
