Session Overview
• ‘Smart' phones, cities, cars...the common feature that makes them smart is that they are all: "intelligent, connected and have the ability to
sense, process, report, and take corrective action”
• Can fundraising live up to these characteristics? • As the world changes, and the things that people
and companies consume, causes and their need for funds compete for time, attention and support.
• This session will look at what it takes to be 'smart’ and how fundraisers may be the best equipped to do it.
Session Objective
What I hope you will walk away with today: • Some insight into harnessing the change
taking place around us all. • How technology, access to information and
an open mind are keys to success in the connected, converging world we all live in.
• A little inspiration for us, fundraisers, to recognise our strengths and maximise our efforts and impact.
