Success in a mobile-driven world depends on a sound mobile strategy. But establishing and implementing a winning strategy is a challenging task that can be costly if mismanaged.
Your mobile strategy should be much more than just building an app because it feels like the thing to do – it should outline how mobile will transform your enterprise.
In our webinar, we discussed how to craft a mobile strategy that takes you beyond a singular app and into a mobile-mindset for the business. We covered:
-Managing and executing a mobile strategy
-Finding and defining the people, roles, and skills that are necessary for mobile success
-Navigating the mobile lifecycle
-Critical mobile technology considerations, beyond just the development tools

Mobile Strategy
11
If you’re making decisions
based on an app, you don’t
have a mobile strategy.
If you don’t define a mobile
strategy, it will be defined
ad-hoc by apps being built
by groups in your organization.
Executing on mobile requires
experience, if you don’t have
it, partner with someone
who does.
