“More companies are discovering that an über-connected workplace is not just about implementing a new set of tools — it is also about embracing a cultural shift to create an open environment where employees are encouraged to share, innovate and collaborate virtually.”
Karie Willyerd & Jeanne C. Meister, HarvardBusiness.org
