In the early 2000s Blockbusters was one of the biggest DVD rental companies in the world. But they failed to innovate and adapt, which led to their demise.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/gregsatell\/2014\/09\/05\/a-look-back-at-why-blockbuster-really-failed-and-why-it-didnt-have-to\/#70040881d64a\"> Blockbusters didn&#8217;t envision a future for digital<\/a>, after enormous opportunities to take over Netflix. Now, look at who&#8217;s leading the way for streaming services world wide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-43225248\">Toys R Us is another example of an organisation that wasn&#8217;t willing to change <\/a>due to its dominance in the market, that was until <g class=\"gr_ gr_21 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace gr-progress\" id=\"21\" data-gr-id=\"21\">Amazon<\/g> showed up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the browsing experience becoming digitised, most of us can find anything we are looking for on our phone from the comfort of our home. Toys R Us could have shifted to offer a fully integrated online experience but instead was left stranded with no online presence and the near-impossible task of catching up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The take from this is that the world is changing and the third sector just as much as any private organisation will be affected. But the true lesson is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportandrecreation.org.uk\/news\/technology\/without-digital-leadership-and-culture-theres\">small and large organisations alike need to continue to put time and budget into innovation or prepare to fail!  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why all third-sector organisations need to be using digital technology <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology is present in everyone&#8217;s daily life, from how we get about, shop and communicate. So it&#8217;s no surprise that technology is developing the connection between volunteers and non-profit organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of June 2018, 55.1% of the world&#8217;s population had internet access. More than 3 billion people around the world now use social media each month, with 9 in 10 of those users accessing their chosen platforms via mobile devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why do all third-sector organisations need to be using digital technology? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tell your story to the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/website-image.jpg\" alt=\"volunteering, world wide web, volunteer management software, charity, volunteer systems, Free volunteer management, \" class=\"wp-image-3000\" width=\"593\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/website-image.jpg 478w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/website-image-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><figcaption><em>World Wide Web image <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>People can&#8217;t support you if they don&#8217;t know who you are.
