Context
People see information and communication technologies as a fix for society’s problems. But they can also create problems of their own. If we want to use information and communications technologies (ICTs) to make the world a better place, we need to know what kind of impact they have on communities and the environment.
Approach
We research the relationship between ICT, people and the planet. We use a variety of methods to answer questions of ICT impact for governments, non-profits, foundations and businesses. We communicate complex concepts concerning ICT’s impact to non-experts. We work on multi-disciplinary long-term projects and short standalone projects. We’re flexible team players and experienced project managers.
