Episode 53 - Alice Kershaw, Head of Digital Transformation at The Wildlife Trusts

How The Wildlife Trusts are taking on digital transformation

We chat with Alice Kershaw, Head of Digital Transformation at The Wildlife Trusts

 

Digital transformation can often feel very project heavy. This week we talk to Alice Kershaw, Head of Digital Transformation at The Wildlife Trusts, who is leading a holistic, root and branch approach to their digital transformation. It’s all about creating sustainable, lasting change.

Alice discusses the digital journey so far at The Wildlife Trusts, along with the knotty topic of how to make decisions about digital in a federated organisation. This involves work with staff who are at early stages on the digital journey, and Alice shares why the energy for digital transformation can come from those working at the grassroots. We also discuss exciting projects she has been involved in such as Nextdoor Nature, and what she wishes she had learned earlier in her career.

Zoe and Paul discuss what the response to the allegations about Russell Brand and Elon Musk’s idea to charge Twitter users tells us about the current state of socila media.
