Eight out of ten charity workers think technology could help save time or money

Nearly eight out of 10 charity staff think their organisation could save time or money if it used technology more effectively, according to a Lasa survey published today.

Some other key statistics from Lasa’s research:

* Fewer than one in three people (24%) said their chief executive was very confident in using newer technology
* Two thirds (60%) thought their chief executive understood the benefits of technology, even if they didn’t understand how it works
* Nearly eight out of ten people (79%) said their chief executive thought the main challenge in using newer technology was either time or money

The survey was carried out to launch the Lasa European Not for Profit Technology Conference 2011, in London on 14 November. The findings are backed up by a ‘Do you speak geek?’ video Lasa is also launching today, featuring interviews with four chief executives of leading charities.
