Upcoming Events
Our events focus around strategic shared learning for senior managers to gain knowledge and understanding from peers with the key aim of drawing out best practices. At each event guest speakers from charities are invited to give case study style presentations, sharing practical insights into current issues facing the sector. This is followed by facilitated group discussion. Our events are only open to charities, membership organisations and other non-profit organisations.
We have an enviable track-record for hosting events that address the demands and challenges affecting organisations through change. Almost 100% of attendees rate them as either excellent or good.

DPA, Information Security and Cake

During this session, we will explore topics such as the latest developments in relation to the new UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, the latest risks and threats in relation to cyber security, and what all of that might mean for your organisation. As well as covering relevant emerging topics, we will also give consideration to timeless management principles that can help you stay in control, get people engaged (enthusiastic, even!) about the topic, and turn rigorous protection of your data assets into something that clearly benefits the organisation rather than having it feeling like a compliance or risk minimisation burden.

£0.00 45
In a world where technology is becoming more pervasive, where your staff have increasingly easy access to on-line tools and content, where hybrid working begets investment into intangible digital assets rather than physical space; where the skills you need are ever changing and difficult to source how can you ensure your people strategy is fit for the digital age? At this exploratory session on People and Cake Adapta will be looking at what makes an organisation effective at exploiting technology by looking at practical ideas for addressing these challenges with culture, collaboration, learning and organising people with technology to better deliver your mission.
