We understand that this will require us to learn how to embed digital within our organisation, and in every corner of our charity. To save costs, we aim to do as much in house as possible. This may take time, investment and new resource, but it will lead to better quality content and data, improved staff efficiency and a better volunteer experience. The appointed digital partner will need to: Consult on strategy development Provide service design and technical expertise Train staff internally Support user-research Support the roll out and training to ensure the adoption across the organisation.
