one important factor in my observation is to have some IT people within the 
organisation that make sure that support questions are answered timely 
and the setup is all fine. A good idea then is to convince some decision 
makers that private conversations are important, you can use real world 
examples for this. In some countries it is even mandatory by law to ensure 
some security and at least in Germany the CEO would even be liable personally 
if he or she does not take good measures. 

A more technical approach is the idea of STEED 
http://g10code.com/steed.html with is compatible to OpenPGP,
but could encrease the number of potential communication partners.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
