Context
A leading management school wanted to integrate digital sustainability into its institutional strategy by understanding the environmental impact of its IS and mobilising staff and students around digital sobriety.
Sector backdrop. Hospitality and education groups operate large, distributed estates where IT supports both staff and guests/students. Standardising Sustainable IT practices across those varied contexts is as much a change-management exercise as a technical one.
Approach
- IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, full IS analysis on the MIKUJY platform (ISO 14040/44 + GHG Protocol).
- Sustainable IT maturity across 8 CMMI categories.
- Awareness workshop, interactive 'Introduction to Sustainable IT' workshop.
Why this matters
A baseline measurement is rarely the end of the story, it is the input that makes every subsequent decision (procurement, lifespan, cloud regions, application portfolio) defensible with numbers rather than opinions.
A few patterns came out of the engagement that tend to repeat across organisations of similar scale: the largest share of the footprint almost always lives in end-user devices, not in the data centre; teams engage far more when they see numbers from their own organisation, not generic averages.
How the MIKUJY platform supported the work
The MIKUJY platform was used end-to-end to structure the engagement, host the data and consolidate results in dashboards the teams could revisit at any time.
More specifically, the Measure module powered the IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, turning scattered inventories into a single comparable baseline; and the Gamify module fed the awareness workshops with the organisation's own numbers and challenges, so participants could engage with their real footprint rather than generic averages.
MIKUJY consultants brought hands-on professional support throughout the engagement, facilitating workshops, validating data and helping translate the platform outputs into a concrete action plan.
