Hi David,
I love your blog. I agree – to be engaged, you must feel connected and that you are contributing in a valuable way. I think large companies suffer because it’s so difficult for employees to feel truly connected to each other and the company itself, but social media is changing that, isn’t it? I was just reading a similar case study about GE and how they manage to connect over 400,000 users in 6,000 locations daily via their SupportCentral social network.
