Just to reassure you, I was at your great presentation a couple of weeks back at the HR and Social Media Conference, and took copious notes. Unfortunately I can’t read them…

But the presentation was great and we’re taking steps to put some of the stuff you talked about into action.

Suw: the pleasure was mine - I was both relieved and heartened to find someone who says what I know to be true (but gets slapped around when up against the social media mavens.)

But a new barrier is often the IT department, previous guardians of the environment who controlled almost all access, are now being sidelined by employees who find these tools and try and get them in because they work well..and they are quick..and they are simple. finding a way to work with IT without treading on their toes is always needed.
