Have you been working with SharePoint for a few years now? Had some successes and some failures and weren’t really sure why? Maybe you’ve had this feeling that the power and impact of the solutions you’ve worked so hard on fell short of what you envisioned?
Maybe you’re an IT pro that has been handed the reins of a SharePoint implementation. You’ve gone to some training, read some books and read a few blogs which really only made you aware of the potential for this product to make or break your career. You feel pretty good about how SharePoint works, how to create lists, document libraries maybe even develop a web part but you realize that the how is not going to get this adopted and utilized like the business expects.
