Managing Up The Organization

Educating the Audience

"Managing up," as it is often called, is an important process of communicating your success, goals, and future plans to your superiors. Most of the problems and solutions you are dealing with are not issues many members of your organization are familiar with, so it is up to you to educate them.

When educating your executives it is important to aggregate what you've learned and the trends that you are seeing. Your information shouldbe clear, easy to understand, and explainable in just a few minutes. Succinctly identify the issues you are targeting and your goals. Explain why these items are the important places to focus on and how you plan on approaching them.

Brand Management

A mobile app can be a useful tool for creating or reinforcing a positive brand image for your company. On the other hand, a mobile app that ignores customers or receives negative reviews can tarnish a company's brand. It is important to have as much, if not more, resources invested to help mobile customers and ensure a positive experience as there is provided in-store or online.

In many cases, a mobile app may be a customer's first interaction with your brand. It is important that the mobile experience be on par if not better than the other channels where your company interacts with customers.
