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.Watch now -

“I can’t imagine technology not being a key part of our organisation. We’ve used lots of tech right from the start because we quickly realised the more we used it the more people we helped.” Nic Marchesi’s answer to the question of what Orange Sky Australia would look like without technology reveals two profound truths about technology and Australian not-for-profits. The first is that ‘people-centric’ and ‘technology-centric’ are not mutually exclusive - even at an organisation that offers a service as personally impactful as a free mobile laundry and shower service for people experiencing homelessness. The second is that the Young Australian of the Year 2016 can’t even conceive of how his organisation’s 1200 volunteers and 27 services could achieve what they do without the technology that underpins every aspect of their work.Posted on 23/11/2018 by
