A CEO Strategic Boot Camp Initiative
November 2018: During the 2018 CEO Strategic Developers Boot Camp, CEOs brainstormed on the future of online and mobile tools from a big-picture, strategic point of view. In addition to exploring our collective vision for the future of online and mobile products, CU*Answers reviewed two 2019 initiatives that serve as templates for tactical approaches: the Online ’19 proof-of-concept project, and launching the new CU*Answers Mobile Technologies Group (MTG).

What’s Next?
- Between November and the Task Force event in March:
- Communicate results of CEO Boot Camp
- Coordinate a virtual community for research
- Series of webinars designed for TNT (Teach Negotiate Tell) for any interested CU participants
- We’ll explain the projects ahead
- We’ll provide data that will help with the design specifications for where we’re going
- After the March Task Force event:
- Make go/no-go decisions: move forward dramatically or stay the path of evolution
- Complete design specifications for what’s next
- Engage developers and implementers for pilot projects
If you’re looking for a concrete projects with completion dates, we might not be ready with that until 2020. In the meantime we’re moving forward with the confidence that we’ll make timely, contingent decisions when needed.

Don’t forget, completing your Online ’19 workbook and returning it to CU*Answers is a prerequisite for participating in the Online & Mobile Tools Task Force meeting, which will be held in March of 2019. Completed workbooks are due by Friday, February 15.
