4. As the title suggests, FOMO is not a strategy - charities should resist the pressure to adopt AI out of fear of missing out. They should focus on gradual, meaningful experimentation and innovation. Perhaps most importantly they should share with their peers, so the sector can learn collectively

3. Barriers to system change - successful AI implementation requires good data, clear processes, and investment in skills. The same kind of foundational requirements and challenges that charities have struggled with for years while working on "digital transformation". AI tech is not a silver bullet

2. Super fans drive adoption - enthusiastic early adopters (tech-savvy staff or innovation-driven leaders) are experimenting and learning - charities could create policies that empower these individuals to explore AI while ensuring they align with organisational values and objectives

1. Incremental gains, not transformations - AI adoption is leading to small productivity boosts for individuals rather than large-scale organisational changes. For charities, this means focusing on practical, task-specific use cases rather than expecting immediate, transformative outcomes

This article on generative AI by Rachel Coldicutt is excellent: buttondown.com/justenoughin... Some fascinating insights into how generative AI is being adopted in workplaces. Totally relevant to UK charities as they take steps forward in how to use AI:

Have you read anything by Brendan Leonard? I quite like his take on it... semi-rad.com/2017/01/i-ha... - which he's extended out into this book alpsinsight.com/stories/i-ha...

A great agenda coming together at #UKCharityCamp - it'll be hard to choose which session to go to!

Why do so many strategic initiatives fail? Too often, organisations focus entirely on the target customer experience, without thinking about how they’ll make it real. They want to create a new experience, but their operating model holds them back.

The sketch shows a horizontal arrow with the words ‘E2E experience’. Underneath is a vertical arrow with the words ‘E2E org design + op model’.Photo of a green post-it with a hand drawn sketch.

The sketch shows 4 overlapping circles of different sizes. Inside the circles it says ‘Create an account’, ‘Order a card’, ‘Manage your finances’ and ‘Get financial advice’.Photo of a green post-it with a hand drawn sketch.

The sketch shows a cluster of 4 circles, with arrows going round the outside. It says ‘E2E customer experience’.

Gorgeous morning for a cold walk to the train station for a day in Birmingham at #UKCharityCamp

Night all.... Sleep well. Episode 134 - Night waves rolling onto Coldingham Sands (34 mins *sleep safe*) It's 3am on the path from St Abbs to the beach. Just the sound of gulls and the sea. bit.ly/LenCoSa

These inheritance tax protests have such Mrs Merton energy. ‘So, Mr Dyson, what is it about your multimillion pound estate that attracts you to opposing taxes on multimillion pound estates?’
