Just pitch up at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/techforgood\/\"><span class=\"s2\">#techforgood meetup<\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netsquared.org\/\"><span class=\"s2\">NetSquared<\/span><\/a> gathering anywhere across the country and you\u2019ll find groups of charities exploring the use of digital technology to drive social change. Indeed,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundraising.co.uk\/2017\/03\/24\/half-uk-charities-dont-digital-strategy-finds-report\/%2523.WO6Dz1PyugQ\"><span class=\"s2\">latest research<\/span><\/a> shows that more than two-thirds of charity leaders see the potential of digital to deliver their organisational strategy more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are at the start of a remarkable time. Digital technology &#8211; the most potent, potentially democratic tool for social innovation that we have ever had &#8211; is beginning to be used in earnest by many charities and social enterprises to transform their organisations and services. But, with more than 100,000 still lacking <a href=\"http:\/\/resources.lloydsbank.com\/insight\/uk-business-digital-index\/\"><span class=\"s2\">basic digital skills<\/span><\/a>, we urgently need to accelerate the scale and pace of these changes if we are to develop a responsive, collaborative and digitally enabled sector that meets the needs of those it seeks to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Why the urgency?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\u2019ve heard about the potential of digital for years so why is this so important and urgent now? There are four primary reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>1. Consumer expectations<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Firstly, those who rely on charitable services increasingly expect digital-first solutions. With the vast majority of people now online for many hours a day, there is a serious risk of the charitable sector becoming disconnected with its beneficiaries if it fails to embrace digital. As Simon Hopkins, CEO of Turn2Us explains in the <a href=\"http:\/\/micro.skillsplatform.org\/charitydigitaltoolkit-chapter2\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Charity Digital Toolkit<\/span><\/a>, \u2018It\u2019s essential that we understand the possibilities [digital] presents for the simple reason that it\u2019s increasingly the preferred choice for most people in how they go about their daily life.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Advent of AI<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Secondly, and related to this, the rise of digital is fundamentally disrupting existing practices. Artificial intelligence is already changing the nature of many jobs and it won\u2019t be long before machines will be deployed in many more decisions relating to key social issues such as welfare, criminal justice and immigration. As charity leaders, it is vital that we understand the changes triggered by digital technology and actively shape these developments so as to champion and protect the most disadvantaged and disenfranchised in our society. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. Turbulent times <\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thirdly, the changes we are seeing are not just technological but social, economic and \u2013 all too evident with the recent spate of hurricanes and tropical storms<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u2013 environmental. We are living in a highly complex, rapidly changing, messy world and our sector needs to become much more able to quickly and continually sense and respond to changing community needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4. Funding constraints<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finally, looking inwardly at the sector for a moment, we are all acutely aware of how government funding is continuing to be squeezed while demand for services is only increasing, requiring charities to rethink how we use resources to greatest effect. There is a growing need for new digital models that mobilise mutual self help, for example for social care and support for people with dementia. The persistent challenges of low incomes and limited housing also demand new, collaborative solutions that use resources more creatively and efficiently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The good news is that digital technology opens up compelling new opportunities for charities and social enterprises to become more responsive to their communities\u2019 needs, providing the tools &#8211; in the form of development approaches, data analytics and free, collaborative software &#8211; to place people at the heart in designing new solutions that will make a difference to their lives. Also, at a time when corporate life and politics often seem uninspiring, digital technologies have unleashed enormous energy and ambition for change, especially among tech-savvy young people keen to make a difference to society. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some pioneers showing the way<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a raft of charities and social enterprises that are leading the way. For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digital-agenda.co.uk\/agenda-setters\/new-for-older-at-age-uk\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Age UK<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk\/2017\/05\/02\/start-small-test-and-iterate-creating-a-new-digital-service-at-safelives-guest-post\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Safe Lives<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digital-agenda.co.uk\/people\/dodd-helps-parkinsons-put-people-first\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Parkinson\u2019s UK<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk\/2017\/08\/03\/scrap-that-leading-an-organisation-through-pivots-in-product-design-guest-post\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Gingerbread<\/span><\/a> are applying the agile, user-led processes of tech innovation to place their users at the heart of developing new services. Meanwhile charities such as Refugee Action are using technology to identify interdependencies and develop shared digital solutions with other social sector organisations. We are also seeing organisations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theengineroom.org\/microtasking-to-fight-corruption-reflecting-on-our-latest-replication-sprint-in-eastern-europe\/\"><span class=\"s2\">The Engine Room<\/span><\/a> re-use existing technologies in highly effective ways, both for their users and for their bottom line. Others such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeless.org.uk\/connect\/blogs\/2017\/aug\/17\/valuable-insights-from-homeless-link%25E2%2580%2599s-datadive\"><span class=\"s2\">Homelesslink<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesta.org.uk\/blog\/what-citizens-advice-learning-about-data-driven-innovation\"><span class=\"s2\">Citizens Advice<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.datakind.org\/blog\/voices-of-pro-bono-data-science-the-key\"><span class=\"s2\">The Key<\/span><\/a> are making fantastically good use of data to continually learn, respond and improve their services. And, crucially, we are seeing funders such as the Big Lottery, Comic Relief, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Nominet Trust making <a href=\"http:\/\/shiftdesign.org.uk\/content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Driving-continuous-improvement-Lessons-from-funding-social-tech.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">tremendous strides<\/span><\/a> in supporting digital developments across the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Challenge for 2018<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The most effective charities are those that are changing their operating model so that it doesn\u2019t just take account of digital but embeds it into the organisation &#8211; its strategy, its culture, its governance &#8211; with the result that they have become much more resilient and responsive. The challenge for 2018 is to accelerate the pace and scale of these changes across our sector, supporting more charities and social enterprises of all sizes to use digital to transform their operations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have some powerful ingredients to make this happen: clear evidence and inspiring exemplars of how the principles of tech innovation can fundamentally improve charitable services; a growing number of digital leaders across the sector; a millennial generation who are keen to drive social change and now have the digital tools to create, share and organise; a strong tech and social innovation community, replete with a developing ecosystem of intermediaries, agencies and incubators; and the backing of a host of trusts and foundations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With these critical components in place, we have every opportunity to make digital the priority in 2018 and move towards developing a more resilient sector that not only survives but thrives in the digital context. The start of a remarkable time indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This article was originally published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk\/2018\/01\/05\/digital-the-urgent-priority-for-charities-in-2018\/\">here<\/a> and was reposted with permission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are witnessing a powerful new movement that is gaining velocity as we enter 2018.
