What makes the Mobile experience unique?

1. For customers and consumers (you and me)? 2. For you and your employees?

Some defining characteristics of mobile devices.

Connected to a network

Attached to a real person

Real time informationprocessed

Easily carried anywhere

Portable Connected

Personal Intelligent

Viewing mobile as just another channel, but not a disruptive one, is missing the point….

e.g. mobile payments and deposits

Extra way to connecte.g. alerts and notifications

e.g. providing product details Different mode to provide information

Additional transaction channel

How have you seen technology disrupt your markets in the past?

1. To create new business models 2. To remove competition from the segment

Some organisations had similar thoughts during the consumer facing internet revolution

Streaming video displaced physical movie libraries

Electronic books usurped traditional book sellers

Online travel sites disrupted the airline ticketing industry

Digital photography replaced film and photo paper

Systems designed to

help processes

Systems designed to help people

“systems of record” data, facts, certainty

“systems of engagement” emotions, design, uncertainty

Mobile is at a new frontier of engagement with people at the centre

Mobile challenges how we think about and design IT systems as well

10

Operational Systems

Components

Services

Processes

Channels

From the sometimes impersonal view of IT…

…to the powerful focus on the personal experience of the user…in a context that makes sense at that time. This includes employee experience

Outcomes-based

Helpful

Highly personalised

Real time in context

Always available

Social

Flexible

Consistent

Enjoyable

Easy to use

Many apps are used once and discarded if people don’t like them — at home and in the office.

Consider some of the qualities now expected of a mobile experience.

Mobile raises our expectations — and customers are not afraid to walk.

Gamification is becoming more important in learning, educating, engaging so….

Do you have a favourite app?1. To help you be more productive 2. Just for fun and relaxation 3. Do you use an app to help you work

out an unrelated problem (digital doodling)?

Remember a life as a consumer before pervasive Mobile?

Simplicity, ease of consumption and harnessing capability are key.

Take something complex and make it available, simply, at the point of requirement.Deliver services in an easily consumed “atomised” way, accounting for different device experiences

Exploit the full range of capabilities of the device in context.

How are you using Mobile to engage and empower your workforce currently, if at all?

1. To capture and share knowledge? 2. To understand the most successful

profile of a role and hire/train to that template?

3. To ensure retirees are not leaving with no handover of your most precious knowledge?

4. To help every employee be an expert in your company through collaboration?

5. In a way they are used to collaborating?

Customer  Experience  Management2Match customer expectations & manage experience throughout the relationship

And  never  forget  the  increasing  power  of  social  media  when  things  go  well,  and  when  things  go  wrong  –  customers  do.

Learn  to  anticipatemy  preferences  and be  proactive

Make  it  convenient  and  natural  to   interact  with  you

Be  there  when  I  need  you  –  in  real  time

Use  what  you  learn about  me  to  service  of  my  needs

Remember  all  of  our   interactions  and recognise  me

Customer  expectations

Anticipate  my  needs  when  external  influences  cause  changes  to  my  plans,  it  may  not  be  your  fault,  but  I  expect  

you  to  own  the  problem

Air Canada delivers self-service through multiple channels, including a wide variety of mobile devices, to differentiate their customer service

50%

Reduced time to launch a new self-service by

80%reduced cost per check-in by

Business challenges: Delivering self-service through multiple channels with separate platforms is expensive and inflexible

Solution: Use a common technology framework underpinning all channels to provide more channels and services to meet customer preferences and draw more customers to low cost channels.

“While we’re under constant pressure to reinvent the way we operate, it also gives us a chance to assess whether we can do something totally differently.” —Patrice Ouellette, Director of Customer Solutions and Innovations, Air Canada

Do you use Mobile to increase customer spend, drive loyalty?

• Examples: To upsell more product or service during a transaction

• Outside of a transaction to give customers that ‘feel good’ factor about your brand?

• ‘Slap a cat’ game to expose your brand?

How far down the Mobile path is your company / establishment?

1. Are you where you think you need to be?

2. Do you already have a digital roadmap that includes Mobile?

3. What (if anything) is stopping you moving forward?

4. What are your main challenges?

City  of  Dubuque,  Iowa   Improves  water  conservation  with  analytics

Challenges The city and its citizens had limited insight into their water consumption and management, and as a result it struggled to reduce water costs and its overall consumption footprint.

Solution The City of Dubuque built a real-time sustainability monitoring platform that provides an integrated view of the city’s energy management.

Monitoring water consumption every 15 minutes, the smarter meter system securely transmits data to the cloud for analysis.

The system quickly and automatically notifies households of potential leaks and anomalies, providing citizens with a better understanding of consumption patterns.

Benefits ▪ Decreased water utilization by 6.6 percent ▪ Annual water savings across 23,000 households expected to reach US$190,936 ▪ Increased water leak detection by 716 percent

“Today, municipalities and citizens more than ever need to understand their patterns of behavior and how to change them. Our citizens now have access to real-time data enabling them to alter their patterns of behavior, which will save them money and conserve a precious resource.”

~ Roy D. Buol Mayor, City of Dubuque

CreekWatch    “Bringing  the  power  of  crowdsourcing  to  the  waterways”

Creek Watch is a cinch to use. Simply stop by any waterway and, with the phone's GPS enabled, take a photo and submit three crucial pieces of data based on your observations:

• Water level (dry, some or full) • Flow rate (still, slow or fast) • Trash (none, some, a lot)

The iPhone application developed by IBM Research empowers citizens worldwide to monitor their watersheds and report conditions.

Every update provides vital data that local water authorities can use to track pollution, manage water resources and plan environmental programs.

Birmingham  Metropolitan  College  creates  “Classroom  in  the  Cloud” Challenges

Birmingham Metropolitan College (BMet) is constantly seeking new ways to engage students and make education accessible to a more diverse user base. In order to synergise with the digital lifestyle of learners and compete in different markets, the college recognised that it needed to transform how it delivered learning.

Solution Embarking on a strategic relationship with IBM, BMet began building “Classroom in the Cloud”, based on IBM SmartCloud® for Social Business. When the project is complete, up to 25,000 students and 1,350 staff will be able to use the solution to access learning through a variety of mediums including the web and smart phones.

Benefits Enables staff and students to collaborate across departments, providing access to a wealth of resources not easily available before. Potential to increase student engagement, retention and make education available to a wider population.
