Our results show that folks need a technology solution which makes Outlook usable. 'Training' only doesn't readily pay off because old habits die hard. If the solution DID lay in training alone the problem would have been solved a long time ago. No-one suffers the effects of email overload willingly. Great Blog by the way. Best wishes Stephen Barnes CEO, Orla Hello Stefan, Peggy

I was recently featured on the Today show (Weekend) about this same topic. All the points I made that are along the lines of what you're saying got cut from the story. Your comments are so right on. Declaring no email Fridays is a band-aid approach when what they need is surgery.
