Catch Up With What Happened on #BeMoreDigital Leadership Day

What happened at DLD?

#BeMoreDigital Leadership Day featured ten hours of content all geared towards helping attendees take more responsibility for digital leadership within their organisation.

These webinars covered leadership across a number of areas of digital: from security to data analytics to fundraising.

In total, the day comprised 10 sessions, as well as an opening, ‘Welcome to the Day’ session led by Charity Digital CEO Jonathan Chevallier.

One of the most popular sessions included a webinar led by innovative digital security and risk management experts Skurio. The session, entitled ‘The Dark Web and it’s threat to the charity sector’, covered some of the most troubling threats facing charity operations. It empowered attendees with knowledge of real-life cyber threats and the risks they pose (so you can understand what makes your organisation an attractive target), as well as the opportunity to learn how automated monitoring helps you identify key threats like fraud and planned attacks sooner, so that you can improve analysis, investigation and mitigation.

Another key session was ‘We build it strong; we build to last: Life after COVID-19’. This webinar was led by a panel of experts from Finance Innovation Lab, Cats Protection and Turn2us. The three different organisations shared their key takeaways on how they’re looking towards the future and harnessing these learnings in order to build strong, successful organisations moving forwards. This is one of the key topics facing charity digital teams at the moment, as charities navigate the future of remote operations and plan for the long-term.

One of the biggest sessions on the second stream was ‘Digital Agility in Time of Crisis’. This session, led by cloud communications experts Olive, featured a conversation with British Red Cross exploring how cloud-based communications allowed them to rise to the challenges of COVID-19 and continue to deliver crisis services when they were needed most.
