How to put digital at the heart of your organisation

We chat to Sharon Jones, Head of Digital Innovation at The King’s Fund

We’re closing season 6 by chatting to a charity digital legend about their journey as a leader. Step forward Sharon Jones, Head of Digital Innovation at The King’s Fund.

Sharon has worked as an editor and producer in organisations such as MTV, Sky and among others, the BBC. Before The King’s Fund she also worked at BookTrust. We discuss which of these experiences informed the way she leads and why, the digital challenges and opportunities she is leading on at The King's Fund and her thoughts on digital skills. We also chat through the latest digital trends facing the sector, and where charities are at with inclusion.

Zoe and Paul discuss what the Gary Lineker story means for how your organisation uses social media. Could your organisation face a staff walkout about a colleague’s tweets in the future?
