				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Monday after a long weekend.  The morning after a great time with friends.  The month after <a href="http://www.blackberryworld.com/" target="_new">BlackBerry® World™</a>.  How do you recover from such intense awesomeness – engaging, inspiring, exciting, informative events – to get back to the 9-to-5 routine?  For me, it’s been a particularly tough transition this year. After this BlackBerry World event with 16-hour days, interactions with over 5000 customers, announcements around the Research In Motion® (RIM®) software product roadmap, and of course <a href="http://bizblog.blackberry.com/2012/05/blackberry-10-features-video/" target="_new">BlackBerry® 10</a>&#8230;I’m back to daily status meetings, budget submissions, and correcting spelling mistakes in presentation documents.</p>
<p>Attending any conference, especially BlackBerry World, will get you inspired. You see the possibilities, you hear what other organizations are doing with the same technology (and constraints) you have, you meet with integrators and developers that can help you re-engineer your business processes&#8230;but come Monday morning, you still have to fill out that <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tps%20reports" target="_new">TPS report</a>.</p>
<p>So, how do you prioritize the opportunities that are in front of you?  How do you capitalize on the conference learnings before the momentum dies down?</p>
<p><span id="more-7694"></span></p>
<p>I certainly have my own “back to work” challenges – not the least of which is editing nearly 50 videos captured during BlackBerry World!   But I also have a list of longer-term ideas that were generated from BlackBerry World customer feedback and session content.  I’m curious though as to what you took away from BlackBerry World.  To use the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done" target="_new">Getting Things Done</a></i> vernacular, what’s your “Next Action”?  Here are some possible examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrading your organizations device collection to the current <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/apps-software/blackberry7" target="_new">BlackBerry® 7</a> OS platform:</li>
<ul>
<li>Providing access to faster browsing, multiple form factors, WiFi® Calling, <a href="http://www.blackberry.com/travel" target="_new">BlackBerry® Travel</a>, etc.</li>
</ul>
<li>Launching department specific tablet computing pilot projects:</li>
<ul>
<li>Using a <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/playbook/" target="_new">BlackBerry® PlayBook™</a> tablet as a laptop replacement</li>
<li>Equipping new, previously non-mobile, teams with tablets</li>
</ul>
<li>Moving to <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/bes/" target="_new">BlackBerry® Enterprise Server 5.0</a>, perhaps in preparation for:</li>
<ul>Deploying <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/mobilefusion/" target="_new">BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion</a>, which could then enable BlackBerry® Device Service to manage BlackBerry PlayBook tablets or <a href="http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/mobilefusion/BlackBerryMobileFusion,UniversalDeviceServiceFeatureChecklist-1.pdf" target="_new">Universal Device Service</a> for iOS and Android™ devices to address <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_your_own_device" target="_new">BYOD</a> trends</li>
</ul>
<li>Documenting (or creating) your organizations mobile strategy:</li>
<ul>
<li>Bring Your Own Device policies and Authorized device preferences</li>
<li>Defining application access and permission criteria</li>
<li>User and company rights, responsibilities, and warnings</li>
</ul>
<li>Building (and perhaps ‘pushing’ out and managing through BlackBerry Mobile Fusion) your first (or next!) corporate application.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just the obvious tasks &#8212; there are hundreds of small sub-tasks and niche ideas.  Clearly there’s a lot to be done in the coming months, and BlackBerry World has inspired IT leaders from around the world to ‘<a href="http://blogs.blackberry.com/2012/05/blackberry-world-spencer-west-video/" target="_new">redefine possible</a>’.</p>
<p>So, what’s on your post-BlackBerry World to-do list? How are you prioritizing these items?  How do you make sure things don’t fall off the radar?  Not only would your IT peers appreciate your advice, experience, and insight, but right now I could personally use some suggestions before my own project list falls to the wayside! Let us know in the comments.</p>
