I agree with the need for guidelines around IM, which is a tool widely used here at Q4. IM can enable greater productivity if you keep conversations brief and, as you'd mentioned, it allows you to connect with others in geographically disperse locations in real-time. One pet peeve I have with IM is when I receive a link for information that I will likely need to reference again and may want to share - it would be much better to receive it via email using an appropriate subject line. (I can't bookmark everything!) I'm sure there are all kinds of other useful tips/guidelines. Reducing waste and inefficiency is an important objective for our company and so I think we'll be looking at email, IM and many other tools to see how we can optimize our use of them. Stay tuned!

Instant messaging was one of the most useful tools for getting the job done (challenging IT solutions that needed the expertise of various people - out of thousands of different people located around the world). However, didn't have much of a strategy in how to use that. Sure that if there were more guideliness in place (and more general support) would have got even more out of it.
