Monthly, we would hold a conference call, initiated by me at the corporate office and reaching out to all of the IT managers at the various business units (some 25 of them). The goal was to share our top few projects and problems so that others could either pick up the ideas or propose solutions to the problems. I also built a skills inventory so, for example, if I needed Citrix configuration assistance, I could put a skilled resource in touch with a neophyte and they could get the job done AND perform so knowledge transfer. All the while, the relationship building was powerful. We never got to the ultimate stage of actually providing application support in a virtualized staffing model, but that was where we were headed.

Similarly all the technology in the world wont help if people lack the motivation to connect, and the discipline not to connect with unnecessary communication, we often find too much volume and too little quality of communication I agree, often the “hard” & “soft” factors interrelate, for example more control undermines trust and more trust reduces the need for formal controls.
