Summary
The main objectives of this chapter were to focus on pulling all the pieces together by first outlining a sustainable IT maturity model© to enable you to determine your current state and set out your future state ambitions. Secondly, we established our current state’s greenhouse gas (GHG)/carbon emission baseline. The baseline enables us to get valuable insights into our current state. The baseline guides us towards what action areas should be prioritized and what actions should be taken to simulate your GHG emission target state. Finally, we finished the chapter by analyzing the established baseline and started thinking about identifying key action areas to start formulating an actionable, sustainable IT strategy, which will follow in Chapter 11, Putting a Sustainable IT Strategy in Place.
