Interview: Hitachi Vantara takes long view on business and sustainability | Computer Weekly
"“He says that if you want to see something better tomorrow, you have to start today. And for Ninan, it's about finding a way through conflicting requirements. His core strategy team aims to combine knowledge, experience and ideas so that 'one plus one equals five' and solves sustainability and business challenges together.”"
"“I grew up in Bangalore, India,” he says. “Bangalore has changed a lot. It used to be known as green - now there's so much traffic, a lot of the greenness is gone. It's a shame.”"
"“I have continued consistently to think about how a little can potentially go a long way. How can we drive better decisions, and avoid innovation for innovation's sake, technology for technology's sake?” he says. “It's about fusing business and technology. And there's opportunity in that.”"
Sustainability and strategy can be aligned in a profit-driven environment by starting actions today to create better outcomes tomorrow. Conflicting requirements can be addressed by combining knowledge, experience, and ideas so that sustainability and business challenges are solved together. Early experiences with changing urban environments and intense competition for resources shape an understanding of balancing growth and fairness. Observations of excess in resource use reinforce the need to make better decisions and avoid innovation that lacks purpose. A long-term vision connects company longevity with embedded values, and opportunity exists in fusing business and technology to drive better outcomes for customers, products, profit, and the planet.
