The rules of the game are changing

 RFPs and contractual agreements

 Sustainability motivated service expectations
 From mobility to sustainability briefs
 Seeing is believing
 Sustainability: the new proxy for innovation
 Partnerships, partnerships, partnerships!
 Engaging enterprise customer around thought leadership
Looking ahead

Mobile technology offers many

benefits but I think the most
important contribution that the
industry I work in can provide is
the power to allow people to
communicate. Never has a
global conversation been more
important
