Making the most of SharePoint
SharePoint is now ubiquitous – there are very few organisations that do not use SharePoint in one form or another. Publicity touts it as the answer to most of our information management challenges, why then do we have so many examples and stories of information management practitioners who are not happy with the implementation in their organisation?
How could you start to use SharePoint within your organisation and more importantly, what can we learn from practitioners who are successfully using SharePoint in their organisation?
The seminar will cover:
• How they are using it?
• What business objectives does SharePoint meet for them?
• Which areas of their business are benefitting from it?
The seminar will be an opportunity for participants to understand how SharePoint can be used within an organisation and will include case studies from high profile organisations that are using SharePoint. It will be an opportunity to explore in detail how they are doing so, and what they are achieving. The seminar will commence with a Keynote presentation followed by three case studies which participants will have an opportunity to examine and discuss in more detail. Networking drinks will follow the event.
Keynote speaker
Graham Monk (DWP) will explore the strategic planning of a Sharepoint implementation taking into account the requirement to involve all stakeholders working closely together; treating the project as a workplace transformation tool not as a software upgrade; ensuring good governance; agreeing a team site policy; a carefully developed and resourced training programme for content contributors and developers; robust project management and documentation. Graham will relate his presentation to the DWP Workplace Transformation Project which is aiming to achieve a complete re-design of the DWP Intranet and a cultural change.
