Description

We are at a critical point in human history. Humanity is under threat, but all is not lost. We can take action! But how? Sustainable IT Playbook for Technology Leaders will show you how. It will walk you through the construction and implementation of a sustainable IT strategy and enable you to do your bit for the future of mankind. The book is split into three parts. Part I details the “why” and the clear and present danger that humanity faces today: the climate crisis. How did we get here, what are the immediate threats, what are the planetary boundaries that we need to peel back to safe levels, and what impact does IT have on society at large? Part II will focus on the "what.” It examines the nitty-gritty details of what we can do to unlock significant returns on sustainable investments toward a more sustainable future. Part III, the final part of the book, focuses on the “how.” How do you turn your ideas into action? What do you need to do to establish your baseline and your direction of travel towards your objective? This part provides tangible case studies and explains how you can start your journey today to begin delivering global and impactful objectives. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to plan, implement, and communicate a sustainable IT strategy and set yourself apart as a progressive technology leader.

Disclaimer: I know Niklas for quite a while now, and I value him as a pragmatic, hands-on thought leader. The book was a booster on my journey to understanding that IT professionals & leaders can make a difference regarding climate change. And this is also why & how I thoroughly can recommend it as must-read when you are on your journey as well - be it as student or young professional, or as accomplished leader with a mindset to trigger changes.Content-wise, there are for sure better books regarding readability and entertainment. Books like "The Phoenix Project" by Gene Kim or "Amp it up" by Frank Slootman impressed me by the super-fluent reading experiment. This is not what this handbook is about. Yes, I would recommend reading it in one go (part of my journey was on a long-distance flight, which is a strange experience), but you will find yourself stopping & thinking many times, trying to digest both the unvarnished reality & the concrete ideas. However, it is even more valuable to think about this book as a compendium, being a trusted source to re-read about topics like Scope 1 - 3, sustainable IT vs. sustainability by IT and many other important topics.What this book also provide is a kick-start into the growing community around sustainable IT. You will get the foundation to understand the work of sustainableit.org, a growing community of IT leaders that defines & evolves best practices, reference to the work of the hyperscalers & large cloud companies, and interesting case studies. Thanksfully, the understanding of sustainable IT is evolving fast these days, so that I'm looking forward to a revised version pretty soon.
