We are about to re-launch our website under the new company name of 50FOLD (Peter Drucker quote, although I suspect you know that!) The work we do is around improving productivity of knowledge workers, and this particular product reduces the time that employees spend "doing" email, at the same time lowering costs and reducing risk. (I'm not trying to sell you anything, honestly). As part of the website I was hoping to interview, or at least get the views of CIO's, CEO's, COO's, HR Directors etc as to how email impacts on large organisations, what are the key issues surrounding communication, what they think it costs them and how much of an organisational issue email is to them. I've a hunch that your not a big fan of email (?!), but wondered if you would be willing to speak to me, or write something......can be anonymous if you'd prefer. We've devised a way to help people change the way they create, manage and think about email, reducing the amount of time spent doing email by around 20%, more importantly we can measure and sustain those changes. Apologies for the rambling, but would be overjoyed if you would be willing to submit something. On a slightly different note, can we have some more cricket musings, thats how I found your site! Best and thanks Mark Hello JP,

I was going to e-mail, and then took the time to read your blog and realised this would be better. We think alike in very many ways. Someday we'll talk blogging. I'm a Scoop girl myself because of the flexibility for uprating, downrating and profiling within the community blog to create enriched content. Many thanks for taking time with us on Friday.
