For a business to significantly reduce its environmental footprint through the use of Green ICT, a strategic transformation of business is required. Such a transformation includes changes to business models, a redefinition of business processes, a realignment of information exchange, and integration of unified communication. Without the right impetuses and catalysts, a strategic transformation of a business may take a long time or, at worst, may not occur because of incumbency, cost, and risk. Like other strategic changes, the implementation of Green ICT is likely to be achieved through a series of tactical changes aligned to an overall strategy. However, such an incremental tactical approach requires consistency and persistency in taking advantage of many small business opportunities to implement Green ICT. Such an adoption of Green ICT is only likely to occur because of the business benefits achieved. Any catalyst and impetus for the adoption of Green ICT must provide tangible (monetized) benefits to a business, as well as prevent adverse outcomes.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jgc.2011010103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,19]],"date-time":"2011-10-19T16:23:44Z","timestamp":1319041424000},"page":"27-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Impetus and Catalytic Role of Green ICT for Business Benefit"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Keith","family":"Sherringham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IMS Corp, Australia"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jgc.2011010103-0","author":"R.
