The second part of our insightful conversation with Ashley Staines and Doug Ayres.

We discuss how digital solutions can be leading or enabling innovation on volunteering thinking. We explore the role of digital in helping us develop marketing and customer insight led solutions to the challenges volunteering professionals face. We examine the myths and stereotypes about generational divides in adoption of digital solutions and we look to the future for AI solutions to revolutionise volunteering in the future.

Above all we discuss how entrepreneurial thinking and insights from outside the sector can help us reimagine what volunteering can do.
