Lead Out Loud
Doing a bit of surfing and sharing (then back to loving country living). Here are a couple of items noted today that anyone may wish to look into: i) a podcast that apparently shares ways one can become a better leader (speaker is the President of the Society of Information Management who has some very nice accomplishments); ii) a book (and a popular video by the author).
When looking for ways to continually improve, remember that balance is and must remain important.

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

Simply sharing awareness of an interesting post on the TotalCIO blog: Why Wall-E should matter to you.
Perhaps even from fun movies some valuable insight can be derived to help anyone take progressive steps towards helping to inherently ensure a better future for next generations. Each individual can make a positive difference. What you do today and everyday can perhaps make a positive difference for others in the future. You can be alive within the centuries of the future, even if only in spirit and thanks to the positive things you do and help to achieve in the present. Thank you for all you do.

Would you like to simplify an SAP Upgrade or reign over risk and instill performance assurance for greater operational excellence? If so you may want to check out this list of IDS Sheer webcasts. If you find they help you make quality, value, excellence and simplicity increasingly inherent, feel free to write a related comment or post. For further awareness you will note at least one of the webcasts is also listed on SearchCIO.Com, where you can find various webcasts that you may wish to also write a post or comment on. Thank you for doing so.
Increasingly the value inherent to web events is growing and helping others ensure greater value within their organizations and for their customers. This post takes no credit, simply shares awareness of a few web events that may be of value to you, intrinsically and pervasively.
