  • Key Findings

    • We are on the brink of rapid and substantial changes in the workplace, driven by numerous consumerization-related workforce trends.
    • The Nexus of Forces underlying consumerization — mobility, information, cloud and social — is fueling the emerging era of the business consumer, creating an opportunity for IT leaders to have a profound business impact.
    • IT leaders are in a unique position to strategically sense and respond to a collection of seemingly disconnected business initiatives for employees, partners and customers, all of which are tied to consumerization and other workplace changes.
    • In the absence of a strategic response, IT leaders will be out of step with changing business needs, potentially leading to competitive disadvantage, estranged users and marginalization of the IT group.
