A sustainable, cloud-based, realtime, mobile ecosystem can emerge if key stakeholders capitalize on this Nike-Like model and replicate it. To sustain a game-changing model like Nike has with fitness, developers will need to provide dedicated apps to establishing good study habits, career exploration, internship options, community service, and mentoring and job opportunities. Apps that will enable students to check-in and share real-time information, in an effort to prepare them for what awaits in the data, ideas, and attention economy they will find themselves in after walking across the stage.
