“Each of us, as we observe systems that work well, will find that sustainability is a result of vision, innovation and change.

Today, my smartphone gently reminds me when I need to extend my capacity in the cloud to back up my data. A disruptive innovation model.” – Dr. Basil Springer, Change-Engine Consultant
