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
