A digital front door strategy is a way for non-profits to provide easy access to their services and information through digital channels, serving as the first point of contact for potential donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries. 

This power session consists of two presentations.  Presentation 1 Digital strategy and online marketing toolsAs we are aware, the digital space is rapidly growing every day and with so many new mediums or communication, how does one manage their time and their brand online? How can we effectively and efficiently communicate with our community online? Let’s try to help make life easier with some great online tools that help make managing multiple channels that little bit easier!

We all love great stories. Stories have the power to move minds and hearts, to create worlds and destroy them, and ultimately, to motivate our audiences and supporters to our actions and causes. In a fragmented media landscape, one where people-powered media has become a new standard of communication, the contest to get stories in front of audiences has never been more severe. But for those who can capitalise on these opportunities, there has never been more direct way to reach motivated groups of passionate supporters, ones who will see your cause succeed. In this enlightening and highly practical session, author, filmmaker and web designer Mikey Leung will help you elevate your art of digital storytelling, using free and open source software platforms, to reach audiences just around the corner or indeed, worldwide.

Oh not-for-profit social media warriors, it’s time to hone your skills, learn new moves and take one step closer to the mastery of your art. In this training session you will learn about techniques to make your content cut through the noise, the fine art of scheduling posts and the social media toolkit every not-for-profit should know about. Be prepared. Speaker biography: Ben Teoh grew up on a steady diet of subtitled martial arts films, Saturday morning cartoons and Power Rangers. As Content and Community Coordinator at Connecting Up, he spends his time writing newsletters and articles, building the Connecting Up online community and teaching other not-for-profits how to use online technology to make a difference.

This package includes the following session videos: 1. The modern not-for-profit: Thriving in the age of Cloud computing and technologyThis session will look objectively at the technology developments that have occurred over the last 2 years which are transforming the not-for-profit landscape. Covering topics such as Cloud computing, workforce mobility, business intelligence and CRM, Tony will present a glimpse into the future with his view of the “modern not-for-profit”, combined with real world examples of how CEOs have already transformed their organisations through the use of technology.

Learn how to prepare for the mobile wave, so you’re ready to tap into the power of mobile.

Information management is a fundamental function of all not-for-profits. Organisational documents and records are valuable assets that not only provide evidence of organisational activities, but also support your strategic objectives and your day-to-day operations. Advances in information and communication technology over the last few decades have led to the creation and collection of vast quantities of documents and data in electronic systems. This has dramatically changed the way organisations need to approach their information management practices. Poor information management can seriously hamper the conduct of the organisation, lead to inefficient practices, lowered productivity and put an organisation at risk of regulatory non-compliance. Quality management of information, on the other hand, results in efficient work practices, improved decision making, clearer communication and reporting and can help with accountability and compliance.

Preventing Violence in the Home has recently started a new pilot project called "Safe At Home" which is aimed at keeping high risk families safe, by making their homes more secure, with locks being changed or fitted, sensor lighting installed, glass doors changed to solid wood, broken windows fixed, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors provided etc.  Each victim will also be given a personal silent alarm, monitored 24 hours a day. This project will be running on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. “We anticipate having amazing information which will help New Zealand learn better ways to protect vulnerable families, as a result of this project and the only way we could manage this, is through our wonderful new database. Thank you for making this possible for us, we could never have afforded to buy your products. We are so grateful.” Jane Drumm. Read more...
