I have to admit, we had the same concern with the project we were using it on. Several people in the classes were struggling with stuff that was easy.

It's my opinion that many people in IT were in the business side first, and eventually became IT folks because they had such a good understanding of the business processes and appeared to be computer savvy.

In many cases the savvy exhibited by a talented power user does not translate well into the kind of skills, talent, perseverance and motivation required to have a good understanding of low level application processes.

These people came into IT by accident. I'm here on purpose. I think it makes a big difference in many cases as to how successful they will be.

There are of course exceptions, but I've seen a lot of people like this.

So often the problems in IT are not technology problems, but people problems.
