THE POINT OF CONVERGENCE
FUTURE FRAMEWERKS
"The new education must teach the individual how to classify and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to change categories when necessary, how to move from the concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from a new direction—how to teach himself.
Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn."
--Psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy
What is our challenge?
3
Consumers are outpacing us. We work in silos. Budgets have been tightened. Our business models are outdated. Ideas are scarce. We have trouble attracting and retaining the right talent. Our values don’t match our actions. We don’t demand collaboration nor do we have a process for it.We aren’t incentivized for alignment. We don’t empower staff to “lead from the middle”. We are not broadly knowledgeable about technology and business. Our growth has increased our complexity.
What is our purpose?

Ideation Workshops
Keeping the unique attributes of mobile in mind, we can begin to move toward a true user-centered design process that creates utility and value in the everyday lives of consumers
Socialization and collaboration continue to transform the pace at which consumers consume, create and share media -- particularly in mobile environments via high-speed networks and connected devices.
We must begin to create services hands-on with consumers and with clients in the most personal, iterative fashion. True user-centered co-creation exercises follow these steps: 1. Share stories 2. Identify patterns 3. Create areas of opportunity
10
Service Design
1. Social: with whom is our consumer communicating and sharing?
2. Activity: what is the consumer doing? 3. Time: what time is it? 4. Place: where is the consumer, in-real-life (IRL) and
in the digital world? 5. Environment: what environment is the consumer in?
Is it raining? Is it crowded? 6. Mental: how is the consumer feeling? 7. Virtual: what is happening in the consumer’s virtual
space?
Context DomainsMobile service designs must center on the personal mobile context of consumers
11
IntegrationGalvanize a commitment to mobility in every traditional and digital media channel.
This concisely represents our opportunity: to make a bold move and truly integrate mobile thinking from Day Zero of any brand engagement, regardless of size and scope.
In 2012, all media should be interactive. Bought/Paid media should be a cue to the consumer that immediately drives participation on mobile devices and we must give consumers the opportunity to activate all media on mobile devices in the precise moment when we are most relevant and valuable. We are uniquely positioned to truly make mobile devices the remote control to the world.
12
Platform
Where and how consumers are ported from a real-world or digital environment (print ad, radio, TV, OLA) where they have seen or heard about an opportunity to experience a brand on mobile devices to the actual robust mobile branded content, site, application, etc
There are two essential considerations we must make for every client:
Mobile Path
A robust, dynamic, environment-considerate and discoverable brand presence in mobile is necessary if clients are to realize the value of being relevant to consumers on-the-go.
