Here are the steps to complete this exercise:
1. Review the vision, mission, and leading indicator that was previously defined for the example company.
2. Based on these strategic goals, identify 2-3 key strategic topics that the company needs to focus on over the strategic period in order to achieve its vision.
3. The strategic topics should be major tasks or areas of focus that directly support achieving the vision.
4. Present your proposed strategic topics to the group for discussion. Make sure there is agreement before moving forward.
You have 30 minutes for your group to identify and agree on the strategic topics. Let me know once you have your results.

Getting it Right in Mobile: How to Use Mobile to Build RelationshipsWaterfall Mobile
Key goals for effective and efficient customer relationship management have not changed - acquire new customers, build loyalty, and reduce costs. With the advent of cell phones, consumers are forcing businesses to expand their thinking to now include the mobile channel to meet and further those fundamental objectives.
The mobile channel is evolving from one-time, one-off projects to Mobile CRM, where marketers are optimizing one-to-one customer communications and developing more meaningful relationships through this emerging medium.
Raise your hand if you've heard this before: Can I drag and drop (or paste) content from somewhere else into XMetaL? The answer is a qualified "yes" -- it can be done, but if the stuff being dropped is not already plain XML, someone has to write some script to make it happen. (That someone is you, the XMetaL customizer.) The stickiest part of the problem is transforming the dropped data into valid XML. But in addition to that, you need to know the mechanics of processing these user actions in XMetaL. In this webinar we will leave aside the "transformation" part of the problem, and focus on the XMetaL APIs for detecting and handling user drop/paste events and inspecting and accessing the user's data from the clipboard.
