Masterclass in SharePoint collaboration & governance
Knowledge-based work, as we’re finally realising, is collaborative in nature. This is the primary reason we’re seeing a rush to implement collaboration applications inside the enterprise. But just installing an application does not mean that the magic we want will happen. It requires proper thinking, planning and governing to make collaboration work.
In this masterclass, collaboration and SharePoint guru Michael Sampson will take you through the steps required to make collaboration a success inside your organization.

Who should attend
If you’re an intranet manager, knowledge manger, IT decision maker or in any way already involved in or planning to be involved in using SharePoint inside the organization then you would benefit greatly from this seminar.
Even if you’re not using SharePoint but are thinking about enhancing collaboration tools and platforms within your enterprise then this seminar will give you a framework for thinking it through. Many of the points covered by Michael apply equally well to any type of collaboration tool and not just SharePoint.
Remember, this seminar is not about teaching features of SharePoint; rather it’s about using the right approaches of planning and governance to make SharePoint a success inside your organization.

About the seminar organisers
PebbleRoad Pte Ltd and To The Point Pte Ltd are jointly organising this seminar. Our goal is to help the SharePoint community develop a big-picture thinking and planning approach when deploying and using SharePoint inside the organisation.
Research and case studies have shown us again and again that when it comes to deploying SharePoint successfully it is less about the tool and more about the planning and governance of people and processes around the tool that matters.
We hope that this seminar will help the community learn the methods and practices of making SharePoint a success inside organizations.
