I (with the help of an MSP) look after the IT of a company of around 40 people. We recently migrated to Microsoft and shifted across almost all devices to be managed via Intune.
The key exception is the CEO who refuses to have their laptop added to MDM. The CEO cites the 'issues' other members of staff have had using Microsoft systems, inability to download and install their own apps and lack of clarity of the benefits.
I have raised it multiple times to no avail. I understand there are security risks and liability associated with BYOD, particularly with regard to primary laptops, but I haven't seen a clear, concrete list of the risks and benefits of moving a device onto MDM.
Hoping some more experienced people here can share their thoughts on the risks / benefits of MDM / BYOD and how you might persuade a reluctant senior employee!
