This document discusses accelerating user adoption of new software and tools. It highlights that lack of user adoption is the top cause of SharePoint project failures. The MindUp tool is presented as a way to increase user utilization rates of collaboration tools like SharePoint through its effects on the learning curve and intranet usage. Comparisons are made to other techniques, and potential cost savings are shown from reducing employee time spent on emails, meetings and file storage if adoption of tools like SharePoint and MindUp are increased by 20-50%.

The document summarizes some of the major scientific and intellectual advances that occurred during the Belle Epoque period in Europe, including Pasteur's germ theory of disease and contributions to microbiology, Lister's advances in antiseptic surgery, Mendeleev's periodic table of elements, Comte establishing sociology as a discipline, Darwin publishing his theory of evolution by natural selection, Spencer promoting social Darwinism, Freud establishing psychoanalysis and exploring the subconscious mind, and Einstein revolutionizing physics with his theories of relativity and E=mc2. The period was also marked by intellectual challenges to traditional worldviews like Nietzsche announcing "God is dead".

The article discusses the debate around whether open source or commercial ITIL solutions are better. While open source solutions offer potential cost savings, the quality and support available can vary greatly depending on the solution and developer community. Commercial solutions provide reputable vendor support but at a higher cost. The best choice depends on factors like the maturity of the company's ITIL processes, the criticality of the applications being managed, and the ability to maintain the open source solution over time.
