Work Goes Mobile Nokia's Lessons from the Leading Edge

Work Goes Mobile Nokia's Lessons from the Leading Edge Michael Lattanzi, Antti Korhonen and Vishy Gopalakrishnan Ask ten people what 'mobility' means, and most will mention 'freedom of movement'. In organizational terms, mobility is the freedom to collaborate and do business outside of traditional work places and times. The explosion in use of smartphones, PDAs, and other advanced mobile devices proves that today, more than ever, workers want to stay connected while on the go. Yet the advent of new, far-reaching mobile capabilities raises a fundamental question: Can you mobilize a business and benefit from it? Nokia believes that you can. This book tells the inside story of Nokia's efforts to use mobile capabilities for business benefits. It helps decision makers understand that mobility is a business solution - and that only by addressing people, processes, and technology in a balanced way can they realize significant business benefits. Focusing on the unique aspects of this transition and using Nokia's own experience, this guide prepares organizations for the next transformation in how they do business. It offers a wealth of valuable insights for any organization into how mobility and mobile work can provide a strong source of competitive advantage.Gopalakrishnan, Vishy is the author of 'Work Goes Mobile Nokia's Lessons from the Leading Edge', published 2006 under ISBN 9780470027523 and ISBN 0470027525.
