Sustainable Digital - How to use product management to design and deliver greener services.

A Talk by John Steward (Head of Product, DEFRA)

About this Talk

There’s a climate crisis and organisations of all sizes and types are starting to set all kinds of targets for reducing carbon and environmental footprints more broadly. For leaders in digital organisations, a key problem to solve is: "How can we use product management to deliver greener services that meet this agenda and help to reduce our environmental impacts?"

This talk will divide into 3 main parts to start to address this:

1. An overview of the climate crisis and how digital can both enable and endanger our shift to a more sustainable future.

2. Where the key opportunities are to deliver sustainable digital products and how to adapt your product management function and processes to make sustainable decisions.

3. Practical tools and techniques to start delivering greener services on your projects (covering principles, measurement, and training).

The session is for anyone who feels the urgency to confront the climate crisis in their work and wants to ensure their products have an overall positive impact on users, the planet, and their organisations.
