OPENING KEYNOTE: 09.15 - 10.00
GREEN IT: FAD OR FOR REAL?" (BOB HAYWARD, KPMG, DIRECTOR, IT, ADVISORY SERVICES)
There is a healthy amount of scepticism within the IT community that greets any new trend or buzzword, especially when vendors join the bandwagon in their sales pitches. In 2007, everyone started talking about Green IT, and 2008 is shaping up to be the year that IT professionals have to make sustainability a priority. Is the Green IT phenomenon a fad designed to extract increased sales for IT vendors? Or is it different from the successive waves of change that IT organizations have had to contend with before? |

SPRINGBOARD RESEARCH SESSION: 16.00 - 16.45
ACHIEVING GREEN CONSENSUS IN THE BOARDROOM (PHIL HASSEY, SPRINGBOARD RESEARCH)
To be effective, Green IT must come from the top down. Implementing ad-hoc Green IT initiatives will do little to meet the immanent government legislations. This presentation will cover the information required by the board to make an informed Green IT strategy decision. The organisational brand and image could be at stake if Green IT is not made a priority in the board room. Make them aware realistic objectives and goals - Will the organisation really be Carbon Neutral by 2009? |
