This would include representatives from the HR department and the IT department as well as policy committee members and senior management. Given the degree to which BYOD-related issues and programs touch on a wide variety of divisions within an organization, this program would benefit almost anyone with responsibility in this area, whether their organization has a BYOD program or is in need of one. Realistically, ALL organizations - public, private, profit or non-profit, large or small - will confront BYOD in the very near future.
