your comment has gone on my comment wall, rather than on the Teleworking group page. If you scroll down my comment wall you'll see that you're not the 1st! Ning's interface for adding a comment on a thread in a group is a bit weak - you have to click the "read more..." link on the thread, and then choose one of the "reply" links.
Glad to hear you think the group is useful, please do copy and paste your comment to my discussion on the the Teleworking group as well, as it's brilliant feedback! I've done a couple of projects (before my current role) with distributed teams, and it's a real challenge if there are time zone differences - but it can work very well indeed!
PS - I know exactly what you mean about "conservative" workplaces. There's a difference between getting along great with people and wanting to be their friend! (semi) Forced socialising does not for a happy and cohesive team make.

Now, more than ever, organizations need to effectively communicate global product information if they are to operate successfully on the world stage. Traditionally, though, organizations have faced a fragmented landscape of technology solutions that are bolted together, but don’t work together. Organizations have had to integrate these technologies themselves and cope with the resulting overhead.
It doesn’t have to be like this. Read our new whitepaper, Best Practices of Global Product Information to find out how you can streamline and enhance the processes you use of communicate global product information.
