HE FUTURES We need to design a
system that's built to last – and, given that we will need some radical thinking to succeed in the world we are entering, I suggest we think hard before deeming any proposition "off limits”

We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the whole of life, leads to humankind's own destruction and to the death of nations.
Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger

SUSTAINABILITY FUTURES
New/rethought problems & solutions
More intellectually diverse- less consensus
More Asian
Broader world view/values- serving society (aka customer)- frugality, humility, smoothness/harmony
Lean manufacturing- customer satisfaction- quality- systemic elimination of mura ("unevenness") - energy efficiency/waste reduction a by product of a holistic, value driven approach
A G(REEN)-LEAN PHILOSOPHY Understanding the system Empowering people Right sizing Smooth load following Effective control and feedback Flexibility Design integration

HE IMPLICATIONS
Sustainability/strategy alignment Lean, high performance models
- quality without quantity Space utilisation Rethinking science/technology education A more strategic view of infrastructure
- smart buildings, ‘cyber college’, cloud-based services- outsourcing enabling integration
Ensuring a ‘green’ IT infrastructure Professional/technical staff as a learning resource
SPACE AND CARBON Low case
- no space; under 8 miles commute- commuting 70 kilos CO2
gross, 56 net Moderate case
- up to 5 m2 space, 8 miles + commute distance- space 361 kilos CO2 gross, 253 net- commuting 504 kilos CO2 net, 403 gross
High case - 5 m2 + space, 8 miles + commute distance- space 723 kilos CO2 kilos net, 506 gross- commuting 504 kilos CO2 net, 403 gross
