Mobilized - An Insider’s Guide to the Business and Future of Connected Technology

SC Moatti

Maison d'édition: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Synopsis

A Silicon Valley veteran outlines what is required for a company to succeed in the mobile era.

Mobile has now become such an integral part of how we live that, for many people, losing a cell phone is like losing a limb. Everybody knows mobile is the future, and every business wants in, but what are the elements of mobile success?

SC Moatti, a Silicon Valley veteran who was an executive with Facebook, Trulia, and Nokia, gives businesses and professionals simple ways to thrive in this modern day “gold rush.” More than a book on technology, this is a book about human nature and what matters most to us.

Moatti shows that because mobile products have become extensions of ourselves, we expect from them what we wish for ourselves: an attractive body, a meaningful life, and a growing repertoire of skills. She has created an all-encompassing formula that makes it easy for any business to develop a strategy for creating winning mobile products.

Her Body Rule dictates that mobile products must appeal to our sense of beauty—but beauty in a mobile world is both similar to and different from what it means offline. The Spirit Rule says mobile products must help us address our deepest personal needs. And the Mind Rule explains that businesses that want to succeed in mobile need to continually analyze the user experience so they can improve every iteration of their products.

Moatti includes case studies from mobile pioneers such as Facebook, Uber, Tinder, WhatsApp, and more. The market is full of how-to books for programming apps, but no works examine what is required for success in the mobile era. Until now.

“Moatti gets what makes people fall in love with mobile. And now you get in on her formula. Business is too important to be left to luck. Ignore this book at your peril.” —Jonathan Badeen, cofounder and senior vice president of Product, Tinder

“This book is rare. It looks at mobile with an insider’s knowledge and deep caring about human beings.” —Chris Anderson, CEO, 3D Robotics, and New York Times bestselling author of The Long Tail

“Moatti brings together art, science, real-world case studies, and practical advice to help your teams make sense of and succeed with mobile.” —Kira Wampler, CMO, Lyft

Build for Change -...

Alan Trefler

Many companies across the globe will suffer over the next few  years as there is an emerging generation of customers who hate  doing business with them. Trefler calls this real and imminent  threat the Customer Apocalypse.     He argues that the connected consumer is giving birth to a new  generation of customer who are blowing up the very notion of  customer relationship management. Theyre not interest in a  relationship, and they wont be managed. This customer  expects to be in control rather than to be controlled, and they  want to discover your product or service on their own, and share  their devotion to it with everyone. Cross them and they will  demonize you to the world.     Trefler shows us how a companys future depends on their  willingness to do three things:    Look beyond mere data to see your customers; balance, and  respect their intent to discover the appropriate customer  process  Understand that the technology we have been given to address  this problem suffers a fatal flaw, and what must be instituted to  overcome it  Radically re-think how business people, technologies, and  finance roles work together for adaptive and transformative  innovation       Combined with examples from his professional experience in service  to and as a trusted advisor to some of the worlds most  sophisticated organizations, Treflers bold and timely  insight will be welcomed by business leaders across any  industry.

The Prize

Dale Russakoff

When Mark Zuckerberg announced in front of a cheering Oprah audience his $100 million pledge to transform the Newark Schools - and to solve the education crisis in every city in America - it looked like a huge win for then-mayor Cory Booker and governor Chris Christie. But their plans soon ran into a constituency not so easily moved - Newark's key education players, fiercely protective of their billion-dollar-per-annum system. It's a prize that, for generations, has enriched seemingly everyone, except Newark's students. Expert journalist Dale Russakoff delivers a story of high ideals and hubris, good intentions and greed, celebrity and street smarts - as reformers face off against entrenched unions, skeptical parents, and bewildered students.
