I haven't spent a lot of time pair programming ...
How do you share approaches or warn of identified issues, across
projects? How is the knowledge circulated though out an enterprise?

I am accustomed to working on large programs with many concurrent
projects.  While high-communication methods work very well within a
project I have found it difficult to maintain across an entire program.

All agreed. I suppose Promiscuous Pair Programming is the practice I 
prefer to use in order to gain the benefits you describe. I have had 
good and bad experiences with each, but I find pairing provides more 
gain precisely because it is continuous -- it is easier to heed the 
advice given, precisely because it is timely.
