While Mobile is explosive, it’s amorphous

The ways people use mobile radically varies

People are communicating and learning on the go

Send information
Retrieve/Access

Of course Social has been growing, too
Last year – for the first time – Facebook surpassed Google and Yahoo! for share of time spent

Features:
What it means:
GPS
Location-Aware
Touch
Intimate & Interactive
Sensors (A/V)
Physical Intelligence
Contacts
Personal & Social
Portability
Accessible Everywhere

How Companies are Organizing:
The Bee Hive

Organizational Models

DECENTRALIZED
Organic growth
Authentic
Experimental
Not coordinated
e.g. Sun
14

CENTRALIZED
One department controls all efforts
Consistent
May not be as authentic
e.g. Ford
15

HUB AND SPOKE
One hub sets rules and procedures
Business units undertake own efforts
Spreads widely around the org
Takes time
e.g. Red Cross
16

MULTIPLE HUB AND SPOKE
OR “DANDELION”
Similar to Hub and Spoke but across multiple brands and units
e.g. HP
17

HOLISTIC
Each employee is empowered
Unlike Organic, employees are organized
e.g. Dell, Zappos

28

Chatter allows any employee to share expertise anywhere, at any time
29
Chatter “turns the company into a meritocracy,” according to Marc Benioff, who said SalesForce is “changing the compensation systems to reflect the folks who are really making a difference.”

Epocrates CME integrates P2P interactions and expert discussions
30
Epocrates provides “Continuing Medical Education” to healthcare professionals, who can compare answers with experts and community members.

Experts are empowered to share knowledge anywhere through mobile + social
Yet a risk of crowdsourced content is mediocrity
Therefore, leverage the crowd for facts and case examples, but rely on experts for creativity and vision
From expert and crowd: Insights
31

32

Classmates share and review notes anywhere with StudyBlue
33
Students can connect and share custom-created review materials. Students can “like” effective notes and share them with other classmates.

University of Phoenix uses iPhone app for class discussions
34
Students can view, draft, and reply to class discussions, learning and supporting each other in spite of busy schedules.

YouVersion’s Bible app allows users to engage with their community
35
App users can share notes with other users, engage in live community discussions, and share thoughts and quotes on Facebook and Twitter.

Learning can be augmented with peer support, or even made into a competition
Yet learning with peers should be supportive only – peers may not have the best knowledge or share all their resources
To promote social learning, include gamification and benchmarking
From siloed to group: Insights
36

37

A “Vook” combines reading with video and social networking
38
Consumers can read books or learn new skills interactively, with video and community.

Professionals find and learn about office space with Regus augmented reality app
39
Users can view full descriptions of each center’s facilities, as well as photos.

People expect rich, up-to-date content, in easily digestible formats
Yet dynamic content must be kept updated
Leverage the crowd to keep content frequently updated, and leverage syndicated feeds
From static to dynamic: Insights
40

41

Merrill Lynch’s GoLearn executive education program allowed “on demand” training
42
Using BlackBerry in 2008, Merrill Lynch executives finished courses 45% faster while maintaining a 1% improvement in users’ assessment score.

Ernst & Young produces podcasts to keep accounting professionals updated
43
Podcasts are produced multiple times a week on current accounting topics.

From fixed time to time-shifted: Insights
44
Learning no longer has to be linear (i.e. one path from start to finish)
Yet content can be confusing as users start wherever they want and skip back and forth
Be sure to provide context, as a story isn’t always clear
Take a page from TV shows to “recap,” or mention prerequisites

45

Serta educates potential customers about its mattresses
46
QR Codes can be used to learn more, unlock achievements, “check-in,” etc. at totally new locations.

Voxiva turns mobile phones into health coaches with constant updates
47
Voxivasends personalized health education tips through text-messages and mobile web apps (e.g. for pregnant women, smokers, etc.).

Mobile can help us utilize content at the right place, with maximum relevance
Expect people to be overloaded with information in any given location
Therefore, you must provide context (i.e. LBS, social profiles, or history) to provide relevant information
From fixed to any location: Insights
48

49

“Hello-Hello” breaks language-learning down into bite-size pieces
50
Users can choose from various topics and find easily digestible videos, take quizzes, and even get feedback on practice.

Bass Pro Shops is deploying a mobile sales learning program with iPads (via OnPoint Digital)
51
The program is intended to replace the current online training, done on a shared workstation in the break room.

Rexi Media’s “Presenter Pro” app offers training and tips for public speakers
52
Users can select topics in any order, as they see fit, and find easily digestible videos, take quizzes, and even get feedback

From comprehensive to components: Insights
53
Content is easier to consume when it’s broken down
“From steak to shish-kabab”
But don’t expect trainees to have comprehensive knowledge
Incorporate “gamification” or status bars so it’s clear what they’re missing

Know your bees: how your audience using social and mobile
Analyze your bee hive: how information passes through your organization
Embrace the risks: crowdsourcing our jobs isn’t a threat, it makes us more efficient
Mobile doesn’t fragment our classroom, it provides ubiquitous learning
Use the Honeycomb framework in your strategy, but always begin with business objectives
