Digital Sobriety

Digital Sobriety Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

Digital sobriety is the practice of using technology with intention and restraint — reducing waste, extending device lifespans, simplifying digital processes and questioning the reflex to add more technology. I train your Swiss teams in Carouge and beyond to adopt genuinely frugal digital practices.

Why digital sobriety is the missing piece of Swiss sustainability strategies

Most sustainability strategies focus on energy and transport while ignoring the elephant in the room: the ever-growing volume of devices, data, applications and digital services that consume resources at every stage of their lifecycle.

I deliver training that challenges digital habits at every level: individual (email, storage, device usage), team (collaboration tools, meetings, data management) and organisational (application portfolio, hardware policies, procurement criteria). The result is not deprivation — it is intentional, efficient digital use.

From Geneva's UN agencies to Lausanne's academic institutions and Zurich's corporations, digital sobriety training changes behaviour in ways that reduce costs, improve focus and genuinely lower environmental impact.

Less digital noise, more digital value: sobriety training teaches your teams to do more with less.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Is digital sobriety about banning technology?
Not at all — it is about using technology with intention. The goal is to eliminate waste while preserving or improving productivity.
How do you measure the impact of digital sobriety?
Through metrics like device replacement frequency, data storage growth, application count, email volume and energy consumption. We define KPIs during training.
Can digital sobriety training be combined with Green IT?
Absolutely — they are complementary. Green IT focuses on infrastructure, sobriety on usage. Combined programmes deliver the strongest results.
Is this training relevant for small teams?
Yes — digital sobriety starts with individual habits and scales to any organisation size.
