Sure, it's great to know the details and the "how" of our challenges--we're all problem solvers.

I suspect not.
Instead of only giving away a technical certification, how about a communications certification? Maybe from a program like the Dale Carnegie Institute?

Depends on the role you are trying to fill. If its Network Management then Cisco, all of the '+' courses such as A+ are a good start.
