Resources: Digital leadership and governance
Digital leadership means having a vision of where your charity is going and how digital can achieve it. And that’s even more important for charities in the age of artificial intelligence.
With digital now a key part of how charities fundraise, deliver services and work, and AI driving innovation across the sector, technology is an essential skill for charity leaders, from managers to trustees. All leaders are now digital leaders by default. And they need to know how to incorporate inclusion into both strategy and implementation
Digital leaders don’t need to be Silicon Valley gurus or have huge budgets. They just need a clear focus on how digital and AI can help their charity meet its goals, give donors and supporters a better experience and innovate at scale.
Our digital leadership resources below will help you develop these skills, whatever stage you are at.
