When behavior change is necessary...

This is such a timely topic—and one that I about each day. As the head of Strategic Sustainability Consulting, I spend my days working with clients who need to be smart about their sustainability. While we all understand the need to mitigate our organization's environmental impact, we absolutely must ensure that we go about it in a strategic way. There might be good reasons for keeping computers on at night, and others that are not good at all--the key is finding a balance that suits both parties.

Some readers may be interested in our upcoming webinar, "Greening Your IT", on April 19. Our guest host, Michelle Bishop of Bishop Communications, will take participants through a step by step plan for minimizing the environmental impact of their information technology systems. Participants walk away with a sense of where IT professionals can influence the system, and where larger buy-in is needed—and where behavioral change needs fits into the initiative.

In our first offering of this webinar on March 15, 100% of participants ranked it as "good" or "excellent", and 100% said they would "definitely" recommend it to others. You can read a longer description of event, and register at our website: www.sustainabilityconsulting.com (click events).
