Future Thinking

Bridge to the Future: the future of non-profit CRM, data and digital

Joined by a host of friends, all specialists in their fields, we have cast our gaze into the future, to share our thoughts on how the use of technology solutions by non-profit organisations might change over the next decade, and what things might look like in 2030.

Bridge to the Future features 6 short films released via Adapta’s YouTube channel each week during the Spring. Our guest speakers have been provided merely with a theme – within the context of ‘the future of non-profit technology’ and asked to contribute their own thoughts using this theme. Themes, include:
