To survive in a world of ever-increasing change, organisations must ensure they are equipped with the capabilities and the culture to innovate for the future.
As a sector, we have a moral imperative to be as effective as we can be. To exceed all expectations. To work harder and smarter than any other sector. Because people are entrusting billions of pounds to us to do good.
To be as good as we can means we need to constantly review and learn and change. Society never stands still, and neither should charities. But there needs to be a cultural shift in the way charities think so they begin to understand, embrace and then demand that their workforce is as innovative and creative as a Californian tech start-up looking for a pink unicorn.
