20 years, and these fresh approaches are helpingchange the face of business travel.”--ACTE Executive Director Ron DiLeo
Yes but, what about Metrics and Management expectations ??
A vision from the top…Expectations : Business as usual..
How do we mitigate desires between innovation and benefits ?
What are we talking about…
To …
Segments we should look @ :Travel families (and related tools), Mice & SMM components, Mobile telephony,internet on the go, Portable Audio & Visio, Apps World, Security & Safety, Payment systems, Portable tools (PC,Tablets,Smartphones, Apps..), Fleet management, Temporary offices & facilities…nomads & home based officesAnd, and, and….
Commonalities ?►Affects entire company resources top down and bottom up.►Strong impact on “Cost of sales”.►Growing spend as part of communications needs to do business fast and global.►Requires empowered company policies and good citizenship behaviors.►Complex commodities with huge amount of invoices and strong differences
in sourcing methods.►Difficult Value added measurement and data sourcing and analysis (metrics).►Strong services & demand management arbitration required.►Rapid changes due to markets economics and tech impacts short and mid terms.►Enterprise management organization “Supplier/segment” centric and
vertically organized (Travel Management, Purchasing, IT,IS, HR, Etc..) withinsufficient bridges across responsibilities.
►Experts and team work required. in a project modus..►Very poor GL real cost allocation and measurement trough the multiplicity of
the acquisition methods and payment mechanism

Skills required a barrier ?What could be some valid questions
We need highly skilled peopleYou do anyway if you want to out beat your competitionMulti-talented individuals are expensive….Yes but they deliver more value, It’s a question of measurementIt’s a change in the way we look at running business !A few companies are already paving the way, Apple, Google, Microsoft…and more in the Emerging and Brick countries…We need time to think this trough…Do not think too much, other are actingWhere are the experts ?Most likely already working for you, are you managing your talents portfolio well ?Are good schools out there or education programs to help us ?PlentyHow do we measure the return ?With pragmatism, openness, learning by doing. rules change tooThis is revolutionary…No, evolutionary at a rapid pace….Darwin was right…Is the Market Ready ?Maybe not, one of your task is to educate..communicate and manage expectations
All in one vision
Some positive aspects behindMobility Management..
“Large companies or administrations cause a lot of traffic worldwide as their employees need to commute to and from work and travel for businessWhat trips and Commuter trips have in common, that they take place in certain time intervals in the morning and evening, and travel time limits productivity.The main target group of MM in companies, travelers and commuters, are relatively easy to approach: they have the same behaviors, destination (their employer) or Business partners, they have similar schedules to start and finish working and they can be informed and motivated by using communication channels in their workplace. These are characteristics, that increase the chance of success of Mobility Management in companies.
For the companies, there are several positive consequences of a change in the mobility behavior of their employees:
Cost reduction: MM can save money for businesses, e.g. by reducing costs for construction and maintenance of parking premises or by reducing the budget for travel and travel indemnitiesBetter accessibility: MM can achieve better accessibility to the company for employees, freight and visitorsHealth and safety: MM can improve the health and the fitness of the employeesImage: MM can help companies to communicate their commitments to society and to show their ethical business practices.
In a larger perspective, the effect of a change in business and commuter trips towards a more sustainable mobility is considerably large, because both contribute significantly to congestion, CO2 and waste of productive time.
This is the reason, why companies and administrations as employers should be among the most important clients of MM concepts..”
