This strategy addresses rapid adoption of a basic feature set across the enterprise...Therefore, with this low risk, high reward approach, enterprise adoption can become a reality, and the benefits can be articulated with a huge, easily documented ROI
Reality : In every organization the adoption and broad use of social tools is almost always tied to closed groups, but we know those are problematic as information is shared but it can be nearly impossible to access and use. Right up there is the nearly global understanding that services that are openly shared to all in the organization by default (or only option) have very low adoption. There is no better way to hinder adoption than to opt for all interactions to be openly shared.” Oliver Marks has some interesting observations about people behavior when it comes to social media interaction inside an organization in his blog post Collaboration 2.0 , and I agree totally: “These are what sell large scale enterprise software: clear solutions to successfully solve known business problems. ‘Adoption’ arguments don’t hold much water for me: business doesn’t typically make expensive decisions to implement equipment because they are impressed by the promise of social movements and ideas. -- The core problems businesses are interested in solving are fundamentally based on making more money: supposedly altruistic behavior ‘adoption’ is rife with psychological realities and hierarchy challenges which can actually make companies more inefficient

SharePoint is the silver bullet of user adoption . User adoption is a challenge that has dogged the ECM industry from the very beginning. Many organizations feel the only thing preventing ECM from becoming truly successful is a poor user interface that limited user uptake (for an excellent summary of this question, read the wisdom shared by experienced ECM practitioner Mike Alsup , who reminds us that user adoption is about far more than a slick user interface), it seems that everyone wants to believe that SharePoint 2010 is the answer to all of their prayers
