Episode 22 - Ursula Dolton, Chief Technology Officer at the British Heart Foundation

And we’re back! For the first episode of our new season we were delighted to talk to Ursula Dolton, Chief Technology Officer at the British Heart Foundation. We discussed a question that we’ve heard a lot from leaders: how can we make truly data-informed decisions? Ursula told us how she is driving the processes, culture change and new ways of leading needed to make this happen at her charity. And with so many organisations now dependent on technology, Ursula also shares her experiences on how to create strong partnerships with suppliers where you focus on achieving goals together, underpinned by shared values. 

Zoe and Paul round up the latest tech news, including how organisations are getting on with hybrid working, why the government want us all to head back to the office and what the whistleblowing story means for your relationship with Facebook. Spoiler: it’s complicated.
