I have to admit that I'm one of those Blackberry believers.  The amount of things I can do with my Blackberry continues to amaze me daily.  I recently saw a video entitledThe Growth of Mobile Stats and Figures which will Shock You  and learned the following:  

• Over 70% of the worlds population now have a mobile phone, that’s over 5 billion mobile subscribers, and in places like the US, it’s 9 in 10 people. 
• Children are now more likely to own a mobile phone than a book.

Now that’s a pretty crazy statistic.  When I saw that I thought how important is mobile technology to business?  59% of small businesses say wireless technology is essential to their business.  How much business is your company losing if your employees are not mobile savvy.  I have to believe that it's in the best interests of small businesses to teach their employees how to be more productive using this technology.  

I'm not saying you need a "you can't use your cell phone while driving policy".   Small business should consider training sessions for their employees on how they can be productive using their mobile devices.  Mobile phones today allow you to do more than just update your Twitter account.  

If your organization is looking for new ways to increase employee productivity, exploring mobile productivity training sessions could make a lot of sense for you.  In the words of Steve Jobs, "It's not the tools that you have faith in - tools are just tools. They work, or they don't work. It's people you have faith in or not."  Teaching your employees how to be productive on mobile phones is a win win for small businesses.
