I hired Steven earlier this year to help me with the internal culture change and social media adoption in our organisation. I am in the process of researching/ writing an article on how corporate leadership has to fundamentally change in style - way beyond the tool, but philosophically and practically! Your quote about the Fortune 500 company and Tie-off Olympics is great and I believe that is more the norm than the exception. Would be interested to hear your views.

The best you can do is try to educate people, and show them, if possible, how it will benefit them personally or make their jobs easier. At one Fortune 500 company, so many educational presentations are required in order to get everyone to agree to a program or initiative that the process has been nicknamed "The Tie-Off Olympics."

It's hard to draft a policy with people that far behind the veil.

Would have loved to have had all of these articles at that time. Back then, there was a fear over not having an effective way we could micro-manage it to ensure compliance, so rather than take it to ANY level, it was decided not to even have outside internet anywhere except a few top level management. I'm glad to see there is a shift happening in today's workplace.
