Nice overview of the challenge of implementing SharePoint. As someone who worked at Microsoft, I can tell you Microsoft had/has this same problem. Just in my team of about a dozen people, SharePoint was “misused” because of the lack of a structured implementation and lack of user training. For example: it was routine for people to send a link to a folder in SharePoint for depositing updated slides for a PowerPoint presentation. Virtually no contributor could have located the folder otherwise.

I have only seen two implementations of SharePoint that truly appear to work. Both are very tightly managed, with very tight reigns on user creativity.

As a business executive you may be aware that SharePoint, capable of delivering considerable and rapid business value, can just as quickly end up off-track producing a disaster.
