Balanced Breakthrough Responsible Technology

About the Book

Companies and thought leaders need to do a better job embedding core principles into the lifecycle of the digital production value chain at all levels. Objectives and key results as well as key performance indicators must all be measured according to sustainability and our overall well-being. We must do everything in our power to impart these principles to teams developing digital products. Balakarthik Baskaran, a technologist, philanthropist, and digital transformation leader, explores how to overcome the challenges to developing such a model in this book. He answers questions such as: • What are the principles of frugal design? • How does seemingly innocuous technology like text messaging affect global warming? • In what ways can digital technology be used to drive positive change? While technology has helped us be more efficient in our lives in our work, it’s also failed to solve some of our most pressing global environmental problems. However, while technology may be part of the problem, this book explores how it can also offer solutions.
