Answering questions about “where does energy come from,” “where does it go,” “what’s the connection between energy prices and business practices/performance” is impossible without a transformation in how we collect, analyze, and report energy and other types of environmental data. This is the realm of information systems. So if you want answers to Senge’s questions, you have to think about organizational change, specifically, how organizations can develop information systems capabilities to enable environmental transformation.
