The efforts of IBM and many others are making a positive difference from many perspectives. Ideally before, by and beyond 2020 positive actions of Green, Social Responsibility, Humanitarianism, Professionalism and so on (e.g., One million acts of kindness), will reach unimagined dimensions of intrinsic and pervasive joy, peace, goodness, greatness and love thanks to all who are interconnected by software, technology and the sharing of information, ideas and progress. Thank you for each step you take for you and others in a positive forward thinking open minded direction. Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years!

Looking forward to 2020, what positive advances may be achieved? When thinking about how quality and value may become increasingly intrinsic and pervasive, feel free to draw on a range of input (e.g., perhaps including Tools of Engagement, TelePresence and so on, perhaps even Star Trek 2009).

Interdependent Culture
Imagine leaders supported by mentors and every level of an organization and of society empowered to mentor each other, to collaborate with greater transparency and trust, and to be more accountable for their own quality while being more willing to accept input, help or validation from others to increase the possibilities for growing new dimensions of value that is inherent (intrinsic and pervasive).
Meet each person with kindness. Help raise each person to their best. Give positive energy, freely and frequently. Bring a mindset of goodness to every path. Advocate continual improvement. Allow all to pursue and achieve their purpose. Empower and inspire all. Everyone deserves a long lifetime of joy and happiness. Look for value in each person. Help each person see and grow their value. If you see someone fall, help them rise to greater heights. Thank you for doing so.
Will a universal culture of interdependence increasingly emerge by 2020? Ideally it will. Ed, Thank you for the great comment! Sincerely, Ron

How might blogging affect the evolution of due diligence, open disclosure, copyrights, and giving credit where due by 2020? When thinking about the question consider this: in life, paths you explore may not always be clear or provide up-front certainty and as you go forward on potential paths it may be important to remember that quality is less a destination and more a continual journey, and that more important than any path is to bring goodness with you, and to humbly share credit as best you can. If you read anything I’ve shared on the Internet, thank you. If you read Inherent Quality Simplicity, thank you. Ideally in either case something within is of benefit to you. Ideally something gets you thinking and you somehow help innovatively share and creatively mature a mindset for goodness. A mindset I personally take no credit for. The mindset, including the related notion of having quality increasingly become inherent, belongs to no one organization or person on earth as best I can determine, and I certainly do not consider myself its leader or creator. I’m simply a messenger. Thoughts come and I share them. In some cases, like buying a new vehicle and then noticing similar vehicles more often, I’ve had a thought, written it out and then subsequently noticed others who have shared thoughts which are very similar… and when looking within many such cases, often it seems the thoughts others have shared have had a connection to similar thoughts shared prior (in some cases centuries prior) by others.
At this juncture in my own journey through life I’ve come to believe that quality has been innately an on-going movement, that it is one that will always be, and that increasingly all will be contributors to strengthening what it means. For anything I’ve shared, for any contributions I may appear to have made, I apologize in advance, and thank those before and after me (as those before may have somehow raised an energy or consciousness within the universe that somehow connected with me and made my thoughts possible for those who follow to improve upon). Any credit for anything I’ve shared, for anything that makes quality what it is today, and for anything that will make quality what it can mean in the future, therefore goes to others. This post acknowledges this and says thank you, once again, as within blogging, various forms of sharing and publishing and even within research and due diligence that may at times involve many others, it may be a major challenge to say with absolute certainty who first expressed the foundational thought.
Look beyond how blogging may affect the evolution of due diligence, open disclosure, copyrights, and giving credit where due. Look to how increased sharing and collaboration may intrinsically and pervasively evolve global quality to greater dimensions of oneness by 2020.

Continual advances in collaboration will enable quantum leaps in quality on route to 2020 and increasingly greater dimensions of value-inherent, intrinsic and pervasive.

Today a reader shared this bit of info on cloud computing. Indented are a few related words that are interesting. Also of potential interest may be The Cloud, billing by consumption, and the future of business intelligence, continuity and competition.
among big metatrends, cloud computing is the hardest one to argue with in the long term
By 2020 will Cloud Computing, laptops and handhelds be virtually global norms?

When determining Green fact or fiction there may be value to looking in on what Gartner has to say, or in digging through an ITtoolbox CIO Knowledge Base, or in exploring BusinessInnovation and what may be included for “using IT as a catalyst to succeed”, or in using a calculator (e.g., perhaps from Nortel) to determine your possible energy efficiency savings, or in reading a free report within ITBusinessEdge, or in various ways to exploring GreenerComputing and “resources for environmentally responsible computing”.
In the past number of months of the current year has your Green movement (IT and corporate in general) made significant progress? For example perhaps progress relative to discerning Green fact from fiction. Ideally your efforts (and the efforts of many including hardware and other vendors) will increasingly bring about improved clarity and positive results that are progressively and continually more intrinsic and pervasive before, by and beyond 2020.
Thank you for all you do; and for helping the world increasingly become one on matters of high purpose. Green IT and beyond!
Earlier this year, Garner Inc. highlighted 10 key predictions that would affect IT and business decisions in 2008 and beyond. Three of the items on the list were:
- “By 2009, more than one-third of IT organizations will have one or more environmental criteria in their top six buying criteria for IT-related goods.”
- “By 2010, 75 percent of organizations will use full lifecycle energy and CO2 footprint as mandatory PC hardware buying criteria.”
- “By 2011, suppliers to large global enterprises will need to prove their green credentials via an audited process to retain preferred supplier status.” 1
