Three key areas not-for-profits can make accessible technology optimisations: an opinion piece by Infoxchange's Digital Transformation Hub Lead Marcus Harvey is live in Asia's tech magazine e27 (Optimatic) today. Not-for-profits face a multitude of challenges that require agility, digital innovation and resilience to navigate efficiently. Impact-focused orgs are responsible for finding solutions to some of the toughest challenges we face in society today, from reducing poverty to environmental protection. These organisations need the tools to improve capabilities the most. Here's 3 key areas and case studies of our work with Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI), The Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf) and Zero Waste Malaysia of critical areas for digital transformation. #digitaltransformation #techforsocialimpact https://lnkd.in/gz4T9CBM

Insightful and compelling insights from my colleague Mark Muckerheide on measuring ROI, particularly how much community wealth, and wealth for women, is generated for each $1 invested. Her money, her voice, her decision.......Empowering women to manage their finances directly addresses systemic gender disparities is KEY CARE work across the world is working to measure and deliver a higher ROI for the women and girls, and the communities we serve.
In my essay for the World Economic Forum, I encourage donors to measure ROI, particularly how much community wealth, and wealth for women, is generated for each $1 donated. Our CARE Women’s Economic Justice team is working to measure and deliver a higher ROI and I’d love to see the sector do the same so we can advance economic growth and equality. Please reach out if you have an interest in discussing or suggestions. There is so much potential if we collectively channel our efforts. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dvApZ4GK

How Canada's cultural policy, historically influenced by a colonial model, may need to be reimagined by policymakers, cultural leaders and citizens to promote a stronger democracy. What are the implications of increasing polarization and social division in Canada on the public perception of the value of arts, culture, and creative industries? These two important questions will be discussed in the upcoming panel moderated by Kelly Wilhelm, head of the Cultural Policy Hub at OCAD University.
📣Join us for our panel discussion on Social Cohesion & the Role of Cultural Policy at DemocracyXChange! 📣 🗓️ April 13, 2024 | 🕝 2:30-3:30 PM | 📍TMU, 55 Dundas St W, Toronto What does increasing polarization and social fracture look like in Canada, and what does it mean for how we understand the public value of the arts, culture and creative industries? Historically, cultural policy in Canada is a product of a colonial model that supports cultural expressions of the "founding" French and English cultures, and views access to culture as a means of building social cohesion. How can we re-imagine cultural policy in Canada in support of a healthy democracy? Moderated by Kelly Wilhelm, with panelists Tanya Talaga, Victoria Kuketz and SGS/Sarah G. Stanley, we’ll dive into these questions and where policymakers, citizens and cultural leaders can go from here. This event, co-produced by OCAD University, The Open Democracy Project, and Toronto Metropolitan University, is part of Canada’s leading democracy summit from April 11–13, 2024 in Toronto.
