I read a blog post a few weeks ago from Nick Milton, Director and Founder of Konco, LTD., a Knowledge Management services company based in the UK.  His blog post was about BP's Knowledge Management program in the late 1990's and how they were traveling to various sites, spreading the news about Knowledge Management at BP. 

I have seen a few survey results over the past several weeks on how companies are using SharePoint.  I'll point out what I found as some of the more interesting findings from those surveys.

We've all seen the blog posts, tweets and reminiscences, telling tales of how exotic and different SharePoint is from other systems. Difficult to manage, hard to understand, impossible to tame. While these statements do show up in tech circles, it is very common for non-technologists, non-IT folks, to recount them. But are they fair characterizations?

Michael Sampson, a Collaboration Strategist in New Zealand, has a short survey on his website asking people what they are using SharePoint for in their organizations.  He posted some in-progress results after a handful of people have responded to the survey.
