**In partnership with the Institute of Fundraising we here at Social Misfits Media
have put together this infographic based on digital guru Beth Kanter’s visit to 
London last year, where she talked to us about digital trends.**

As the New Year begins we start to consider what challenges may be lay ahead. This
handy infographic highlights the five biggest trends that organisations should be
aware of in order to prepare for 2017 and beyond. If you make one New Years resolution
for the year to come, it should be to get to know how these changes may affect you
and your organisation so you can better prepare for the future.

One of the biggest arenas for change is the digital world, and the five trends outlined
in the infographic have been broken down to assist you in understanding what may
change and how your organisation can use this to plan ahead. Whilst you don’t need
to rush out and invest in all of these trends, simply making your organisation aware
of them and understanding how they may affect you will help you to learn from, and
engage with, the changes that are bound to shape the digital world in a big way;
after all knowledge is power!
