Regardless of the name you use, mobile policies are both needed and lacking in the enterprise. Over the last few years many organizations have begun piecing together policies around the use of mobile technologies and the behaviours of users when mobile. In a previous life I have written and spent quite some time thinking about this and my memory was jogged when I received an email earlier today with a link to an article at IT World Canada entitled “Is your mobility policy worth the paper it’s printed on?”
This specific article is centred around the need for training of end users on whatever mobile policies are drafted:
The right way to do things is to accompany a policy rollout with a brief training session, outlining the main components of the policy and what responsibilities the user will have to be concerned about … nothing in the policy should be left to interpretation or chance.
Quite true.
Let us know your thoughts on this topic and if you are able to we would like to hear whether or not you have a mobile policy in place. Our experience tells us that many organizations do not have policies in place to govern mobile technologies and mobile practices and the ones that do have one have not spent an adequate amount of time thinking about it or including the right players.
