Lessons from SharePoint: User Adoption, Governance, and Sustainable Success

​"History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes" - Mark Twain (attributed)/Unknown

Abandoned Sites. Ungoverned chaos. Accidently deleted data. Users who swear they'll never touch the stuff. The latest headlines about Generative AI? Nope. Horror stories from the world of SharePoint.

In this session, we will discuss the lessons learned from years of governing SharePoint from both a business and technical perspective and how we can apply these lessons in our current environment. Real patterns, relatable mistakes, and what works well when introducing a powerful but deceptively easy to use technology into the enterprise.

Instead of a technical deep dive, we've have an honest conversation about why SharePoint still has a reputation problem, what it looks like when it's done right, and what we can do to help users stop fighting new tools and start leveraging them!
