Information is power, but too much of a good thing can become a liability. Turning streams (or oceans) of data into actionable information is a key to competitive advantage in addressing environmental challenges, from waste reduction and energy efficiency to strategies for reducing greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, and water use. 

The essential elements are knowing what you need to know, seeing it in real-time and having the analytical tools to make the information actionable. But where do you begin and what methodology should you use? How do you turn data into profitable decisions? How do you do this in real time? 

In this 50-minute session, four experts will discuss their companies' journeys toward sustainability using data analytics, modeling and a whole- systems approach. They will address the benefits of increasing efficiencies to save costs, improve performance and meet environmental targets using IBM Green SigmaTM, a proven methodology for delivering value to key stakeholders while driving out waste and inefficiencies. And they will discuss how they have joined with other sustainability- focused companies to form the Green Sigma™ Coalition and bring this successful methodology to others. 

Please join Joel Makower in conversation with other sustainability leaders for a look at how companies are applying the methodology of Lean Six Sigma to improve their environmental and financial performance: 

• Dave Lubowe, VP and Global Partner, Strategy and Change, IBM
• Clay Nesler, VP Global Energy and Sustainability, Johnson Controls
• Larry Raymond, Integrated Supply Chain Leader for Green Initiatives, IBM
• Joe Wolfsburger, Senior Vice President, Environment, Health and Safety, Eaton Corporation
