It’s time to realize that mobile isn’t a device, it’s a state of mind. People need to adopt a mobile mindset. It’s not about the specific device that you use but what you are able to do with it. A device itself isn’t a tool either. It’s just one piece of the puzzle that fits together in this landscape of enablement.

So I've accepted the challenge to say something different on this tired subject, or at least say it differently. I'm taking the "senior executive sponsorship, experienced team, clear objectives" mantra for granted here, and have tried to distill it all down to just a few succinct points that, I sincerely hope, encapsulate the issues, and will make a real and tangible difference if heeded.
In my humble opinion therefore, why do these projects underperform so badly, and so often fail outright? Why do we so often get it wrong?

The past few weeks, or really the past few years, have given us plenty of examples of Amazon slowly but surely cranking up their disruptive aspect when it comes to supply chains. Of course, when we think of Amazon we think of the giant of eCommerce. A company that has not physical retail channel but one that can sell us anything from a copy of the Iliad to furniture to baby’s diapers. For me Amazon is the biggest winner from the crazy dot com days of the late 1990s. The giants associated with that era – Yahoo, AOL, WebVan, eBay, Geocities, Lycos – to name a few.

I was a little surprised and more than a little delighted when Ray asked me to join Orbits. Surprised because my mission is “to anticipate and shape the future of business” in general—I’m not an analyst of the technology industry. That said, my work has always been rooted in how technology was enlarging the envelope of the global economy.

If anonymity is important, what is the legal basis for defending it?
Against a backdrop of spying revelations and excesses by social media companies especially in regards to facial recognition, there have been recent calls for a "new jurisprudence of anonymity"; see Yale law professor Jed Rubenfeld writing in the Washington Post of 13 Jan 2014. I wonder if there is another way to crack the nut? Because any new jurisprudence is going to take a very long time.
Instead, I suggest we leverage the way most international privacy law and privacy experience -- going back decades -- is technology neutral with regards to the method of collection.

I often reference Bob Sutton’s work here and in class, and Huggy Rao’s work on enthusiast organizations and innovation is a classic. When I heard that their book, Scaling Up Excellence: Getting to More Without Settling for Less, was due out I was thrilled, and rightly so. It’s wonderful.
Sutton and Rao offer a comprehensive guide to management in a package of enticing stories, subtly supported by references to high-end research. Their personal history in the Silicon Valley and their global access to interesting organizations provides the backdrop.

Combining the message from the WeatherTech Ad above, and thinking about what is means to have 10 Million freelancers ready to work converges on a notion suggesting there is more going on with what it means to work in America than just having more jobs. Over the last decade, we have seen a redefinition of work itself.

A few years ago I started to get frustrated with the way the market (vendors, press, analysts) was focusing primarily on how "social" could help teams and communities. While of course there are great benefits to this, I believe it leaves out the most important target, the individual. That's why I started my "Don't forget the ME in social MEdia" campaign.

MDM is dead and it’s been dead for a long time. It no longer makes sense as a product and businesses have begun to finally realize it and not buy into the hype. The fact that it has become the household name for the technology to manage mobile is just sad. The good news, at least if you like acronyms, is it’s now been replaced with a new acronym, EMM or Enterprise Mobility Management. It’s much simpler to talk about EMM than it is to say you’ve moved from MDM (Mobile Device Management) to MAM (Mobile Application Management). Let’s not leave out the other acronyms that have a place in this alphabet soup of technologies that companies are trying to sell you. MCM, MIM, TEM, DRM, IRM, if it has three letters in it, chances are someone has included it in this unending black hole called EMM.
