Check out this interesting 12 minute video where Lisa Phifer gives 5 common sense steps for approaching enterprise BYOD. I think she does a good job of giving advice on how to start down this road.
As she says, just banning personal devices won't work as we continue to accelerate down the consumerization of IT path that we all seem to be on. I think we will very quickly see consumers, and especially Millennials, who are quite able and desire to do all their work on mobile devices. Combine that with more enterprises moving to cloud services, and you see that traditional thinking won't serve us anymore. Between device-centric (MDM), network-centric (segmentation) and data-centric (sandboxed apps and VDI) approaches, there is something for everyone. You need to determine what works for your enterprise, and even if it isn't a perfect solution, take a Risk Management approach and start with the greatest risk.
