IT is going to save the world; and I'm not even kidding. Information can lead to proof and proof can lead to change. I'm trying ton convince our industry to speed up our understanding and application of sustainable service design, because I believe the companies that grasp this concept sooner will have much less "sustainability debt" to make up. We didn't talk specifically about this, but Tuuli Bell totally rocked this episode of Ticket Volume - IT Podcast.

Or is sustainability a waste of time? #TicketVolume #Sustainability #ITSM
