Mobile Strategies and Business Transformation

[Former Member]

Best selling author and innovation expert Daniel Burrus recently described what an evolved mobile strategy looks like in the article titled Does Your Organization Have a Mobile Strategy to Accelerate Growth?  "When you think about mobility, don’t just think about devices and apps and how you might use those. Step back and create a bigger strategy, because mobile is far bigger than that. Instead, ask yourself,"

• How can we accelerate growth
• Gain new competitive advantages
• Transform all of our business processes
• Transform how we communicate
• Transform how we collaborate
• Transform how we innovate
• Transform how we train
• Transform how we educate
• Transform how we sell
• Transform how we market
• Transform how we share knowledge?
