This is a great one and something most everyone has either experienced or can identify with. Great story.

We run around trying to determine metrics etc, but tend to overlook the productivity gains that can be achieved with new hires, returning workers, sharing organisational knowledge etc. But that is the tip of the iceberg (albeit an important one). In many ways social apps in the enterprise help remove the complexity of connecting (across geographies, reporting lines, business units etc). Makes it a fascinating time if you want to DO things.

I think I'll use it next week when I'm evangelizing social software to a couple of Toronto customers. Expect traffic from Canada next week! ;) Oh and see another benefit of social media? It allows me to more easily discover success stories like these. That way I can share them with my customers and my job has just become easier! Without your blog or Facebook, in a company with 350k+ fellow employees, we'd probably never met and wouldn't have been able to leverage you (who are halfway around the globe). Oh and since your title is 'Connected, baby', can I assume you are using Lotus Connections internally ? :) Great success story and thank you so much for sharing!!!

I've not been in your position of taking extended leave, but any time I'm away I know I can quickly catch up through my social networks. It must be so handy in these kind of situations, too.
