Flevy Management Insights: Mobile Strategy

As Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, astutely noted, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." With the advent of digital technology, and particularly mobile technology, creating this future rests heavily on a solid Mobile Strategy. Central to realizing the transformative potential of mobile technology is a comprehensive, forward-looking strategy that not only meets a company's current business needs and sophistication level but also sets the stage for future evolution.

For effective implementation, take a look at these Mobile Strategy best practices:

Understanding Mobile Technology's Strategic Importance

Indeed, the role of mobile technology in shaping today's business environment cannot be overstated. As McKinsey's research suggests, over half of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices - a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. What makes mobile technology uniquely suited to driving business success is its unparalleled reach and engagement potential. Its power lies not just in its omnipresence- a smartphone is within reach 24/7 for the average user - but also in its ability to deliver personalized, contextual experiences that forge stronger relationships with users.

Building a Compelling Mobile Strategy

Building a compelling Mobile Strategy calls for an in-depth understanding of the complex interplay between various factors such as customer needs, industry trends, and digital capabilities. Following a meticulous pathway can lead us to better results:

  1. Understand the Mobile Maturity of your organization. Gauge where the organization stands today concerning its mobile efforts. Is it in its infancy, or has it matured with an array of integrated mobile solutions?
  2. Identify key mobile use cases that align with your Strategic Planning. Identify and prioritize mobile initiatives that dovetail with your organization’s overall strategy and offer maximum value.
  3. Design the Mobile Experience. Place the user experience at the heart of the mobile strategy. An intuitive, user-friendly mobile experience goes a long way in driving user adoption.
  4. Develop an Implementation Roadmap. Create a detailed plan that outlines resource allocation, timelines, and Risk Management strategies.

Leveraging Mobile for Digital Transformation

The ultimate goal of any mobile strategy should be to ease the path towards Digital Transformation. This is where mobile technology truly shines—enabling organizations to reimagine their traditional business processes and models. The mobile-first approach, which emphasizes delivering a seamless user experience across a multitude of mobile devices, has emerged as a critical aspect of Digital Transformation. This approach puts the user first, ensuring that all the digital touch points work optimally on a mobile device before anything else.

The Intersection of Mobile Strategy and Operational Excellence

Tightly aligning a mobile strategy with the organization's Operational Excellence can drive significant efficiencies, reduce costs, enhance productivity, and boost overall performance. For instance, through deployable mobile applications, organizations can streamline complex operational processes, enable real-time decision-making, and foster cross-functional collaboration. To that end, a mobile strategy should encompass Operational Excellence metrics and focus on Performance Management.

Fostering Innovation with Mobile-centric Ideas

Creating an innovative culture that encourages mobile-centric ideas can lead to breakthrough solutions. Companies like Uber and Airbnb demonstrate the transformative power of such innovative, mobile-centric ideas. Furthermore, with the adoption of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT), the potential applications of mobile technology are expanding at an incredible pace.

To close this discussion, developing a robust Mobile Strategy is no longer an option—it's a business imperative in today's competitive digital landscape. It is a critical component of the comprehensive strategic management playbook for any leader looking to chart a path of success in the digital age.
