Dell | Getting efficient to maximize business and environmental impact

Sustainability and environmental impact are two of the biggest buzzwords in corporate responsibility. I spoke with the head of Dell's #GetEfficient Initiative about building scalable frameworks for organizations across industries and how innovation will be a cornerstone of evolving green goals.

‘The Get Efficient initiative provides customers with information that can support both solution-based and environmentally-conscious decisions. “Many companies highlight their green goals right on the homepage of their website,” Temesvary says. “It’s important that customers can understand not only the effectiveness of the product they’re buying but also what kind of environmental impact that product is going to have.

… Specialized requests presented an opportunity for the Get Efficient team: because customers were asking for [environmental] analyses of new kinds of equipment, Temesvary and his fellow engineers were able to broaden the scope of the initiative. “The [presales center of excellence] team hadn’t historically worked with servers before, so we had to figure out a way to apply our knowledge to products for which it makes more sense to focus on a different set of metrics to produce meaningful comparisons).” This increase in product oversight allowed the teammates to gain more knowledge while also expanding Get Efficient’s capabilities to wider use cases.’
