I think from all the chapters before this one, it’s pretty clear that SharePoint can really help you and your department. The thing is that if you are not already working with a system like this, there will always be people reluctant to use it. Because change is change and some people just don’t know how to deal with that. Especially when you have a very diverse group of people in your department ranging two maybe even three generations, there will be those who see it as a new toy and does who see it as an obstacle. That’s where you as a manager can make the difference. A lot of the work convincing people of the benefits and strengths will feel, and actually be, an internal marketing campaign. Something you might even want to spend some money on, since the benefits will increase exponentially with the number of people using it. Collaboration and communication only works if almost everybody uses it and uses it correctly. You can compare it to the telephone network. What good would it be if you could only reach 50% of your friends through it? The success, just as it will be with SharePoint, lies in the fact that everybody can be reached through it.
