By Rob Garretson The number of mobile workers accessing enterprise systems worldwide will top the 1 billion mark this year on the way to 1.2 billion by 2013, or more than a third of the world’s workforce, according to a new forecast from research firm IDC.
Although the most significant gains will be in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific, and growth in the U.S. and Japan has nearly peaked, the U.S. will remain the most highly mobile workforce in the world, IDC says, with the proportion of mobile workers in its workforce predicted to surpass 75 percent, or 119.7 million people, in 2013. The ongoing economic recovery and new interest in unified communications will drive growth in mobility spending overseas, where mobile workforce penetration is not as saturated.

Security Think Tank: Challenges and opportunities of smartphone security policy (part 3) The smartphone – and tablet – revolution offers organisations new ways of performing their work and realising tangible benefits.
They offer new paths to gain business and competitive advantage by creating new customer services and experiences, and they enhance operational access and flexibility. But these devices present one main problem: how to secure devices which were not necessarily designed and built with business use in mind. The ISF has found that these devices (both smartphones and tablets) are likely to force information security functions to rethink their entire approach to deploying controls and solutions.
Overall, within large organisations, we have found a parallel to the steps taken to secure laptops, but with a severely compressed timescale of a few months or even weeks.

CIO’s Innovation Strategy. The annual global InnovationLeadership Study just released by Capgemini Consulting and the IESE business school., based on a survey of 260 innovation executives around the world, find that only 24% of the respondents think they have an “effective organizational alignment of innovation efforts.
The study concludes that “the absence of a well-articulated innovation strategy is by far the most important constraint for companies to reach their innovation targets.” It proposes that “there is a need for innovation strategy development in a more bottom-up manner,” and “large organizations create so much distance between the executives and those that are tasked to innovate that a disconnect exists between them.” At Good Strategy, Bad Strategy we learned, there are three steps to craft good strategy: 1.

Despite the difficulty, CIO success depends on connecting the chaotic, often crisis-driven, IT environment to high-level strategic and business priorities that matter to the broader organization. Linking a tactical IT culture rooted in reaction and response to broader strategic goals is a worthy, if difficult, challenge, which requires understanding the areas of intersection between IT and the business.
Despite the obstacles, IT must cross this bridge without disrupting its own operational ability to deliver projects on-time and within budget while still achieving planned scope. To be sure, this balancing act requires careful and delicate choreography! Paul M.
