need for a deeper look

I think the themes highlighted in this article illustrate that people need to look at their approach and strategy from a deeper perspective.

First and foremost, I think the biggest benefits can be arrived at more from looking at how smarter use of ICT can enable organizations (and their customers) to behave in a 'greener' fashion - rather than solely looking at how ICT (and the supply chain around it) can be managed. That said, with the impact of the ICT industry becoming increasingly recognised, it is certainly very important to do so.

I believe it is our culture we need to examine - for example, with the desktop being recognised as being responsible for almost half of the ICT impact, how often do we expect to have a desktop PC at our desks rather than using thin client hardware and.or web-based desktop delivery technologies?

Perhaps these are just to different for us to accept - are we really that set in our ways?
