CSOs have to deliver improved enviromental (and sometimes social) impact.

To do this they need to be able to understand the details at an operational level in order to:
(1) contextualise at the high level and
(2) appreciate and narrate how that impact changes in: an evolving commerical and political landscape; a warming world; and shifting social values and norms.

Then they need to be able to tell that story, and influence and support stakeholders to drive the change that delivers the impact.

Can't see AI being able to navigate the nuances of that for a while.
