Change management in such a large company is always, well, interesting. It's not fair to blame IT, especially as I'm in IT (!), but going by the emails I recieved today (from other companies) the theme seemed to be IT barriers rather than customer demand. Some of us are lucky and have switched on and responsive IT depts, others have to battle harder!<br /> All the best - Scott</p> You are spot on Marcel – in fact I work in a similar size company and it’s the size and culture in general that presents the challenge.

Of course the bigger the company the bigger the coordination problem in general. I would like to point out by the way, that blaming "IT" is not always correct, How about the internal communications departments leading the way in explaning managers what the new tools could mean for collaboration, learning and information sharing? My two cents. Best regards, Marcel Hi Scott,

My two cents.

Best regards,
