I was in the same position.
The best way to get a shared contact list on everyones bb is:

Put the contact list in a public folder.
In desktop manager, ADD that public folder to the Configure PIM -> address book section.

This way, whenever they sync the bb they'll have a centrally manages contact list on the device.

Note- make sure they don't have edit permission to the public folder or any changes they make will show up on everyone elses bb.

For some reason many of the BB experts online don't understand why anyone would want to do this?
