About the project

Alix Slater Consultancy & Training and Marilyn Scott, an associate of the consultancy, were commissioned by UKTI to travel to Taiwan to share their experiences and advise Taiwanese museum professionals on marketing and fundraising.

The consultancy's role

They visited a number of museums across Taiwan to see their practice first hand, met with staff in small groups, and ran a workshop in Taipei at the end of the visit - reflecting on their experiences and putting forward suggestions for the Taiwanese museum sector.

They also contributed to a dual-language publication (English/Mandarin) that was launched at the ICOM International Committee on Management 2006 Annual Meeting in Taiwan in November of the same year, where the consultancy was invited to present a paper based on the report and to sit on a number of panels.
