As part of the Boston Net Impact chapter's 2015 Career Summit, Simmons School of Management Net Impact has organized two panels: Challenges with Measuring Data & Technology for Impact: Pace of Change.
Challenges with Measuring Data
Description: Given the challenges we face today in an ever changes world, it seems that measuring the challenges and changes of the actual data can be difficult. When it comes to sustainability this can be even more difficult as the globe begins to work setting a baseline for ourselves on what a “good” or “normal” reading should be in any particular field. The best example of needing to set a baseline is with energy and pollution. The purpose of this panel is to further discuss and investigate how we can overcome those challenges, and ensure we are carving a path for a more sustainable and renewable future.

Technology for Impact: Pace of Change
