Information Systems Director at the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) took the stage at the Gartner Portal, Content, and Collaboration Summit in San Diego. Attendees packed the large conference hall to hear Miller describe MoDOT’s five-year journey to adapt and thrive in these tough economic times, using SharePoint.

Today, Joel Oleson (aka SharePoint Joel) shares his perspectives on the SharePoint user adoption challenge, and what you can do to overcome them.  Specifically, he talks about:
