Success in the current fast-moving digital landscape often hinges upon how effective enterprises can manage their workforces transitioning from laptop and PC-dominance to mobile device-centric environments. IT leaders and decision makers navigating these challenges must settle upon a coherent strategy and cadence for mobile tech adoption relative to their competitors.
To establish a useful metric for determining where they rank, we’ve partnered with VDC Research, a leading enterprise mobile technology market research authority, to create a Mobile Tech Adoption Maturity Curve based on quantitative research of IT leaders & decision makers. We classified the participants in four distinct categories based chronologically on their engagement with emerging mobile technology:
Innovators
Early Adopters
Early Majority
Late Majority and Laggards
We evaluated them across four key drivers of readiness:
Current mobile investment optimization strategies
Decision making priorities
Operational agility
Preparedness for future innovation
Among the many insights we’ll explore in this paper, we determine why Innovators are successful and grow almost 11% year over year, substantially more than other segments. There is a clear correlation between this strategic foresight and their ability to transcend the challenges of tech-led disruption.
Read on for how you can assess your organizational readiness for tech disruption and benchmark your own tech adoption strategies.
