Resources: Digital leadership
Digital leadership means having a vision of where your charity is going and how digital can achieve it.
With digital now a key part of how charities fundraise, deliver services and work, it’s an essential skill for charity leaders, from managers to trustees. All leaders are now digital leaders by default.
Digital leaders don’t need to be Silicon Valley gurus or have huge budgets. They just need a clear focus on how digital can help their charity meet its goals and give donors and supporters a better experience.
Our digital leadership resources below will help you develop these skills, whatever stage you are at.
