Process Management
Process Management Some processes are absolutely critical - some are comfort blankets. Manage the outcome and the quality trust people to collaborate to get to that stage. SharePoint by itself is good for simple processes. Complex ones we need hybrid SharePoint/CRM deployments.
Social Business Collaboration tends to orient around a specific subject, goal or deliverable. Typically there is a defined and tangible outcome. Social has no specific goal it is a pot of profiles and conversations talking about news, discussing collaborations and their deliverables, brainstorming, innovating and engaging people. Leverages the strength of weak ties to communicate faster and reduce silos. h?p://www.joiningdots.com/blog/2013/02/collabora9on- is- not- the- same- as- social
Social Business It s pretty simple really. It s a message: - To an undefined audience - Within an undefined timescale This is difficult to achieve without this sort of technology. But why bother? - Serendipity - Innovation - Speed of communication - Strength of weak ties
SharePoint Challenges
Why is SharePoint difficult to get right? Politics Lots of things to lots of people ROI complex to prove and measure SharePoint is the answer what was the question? Organic growth Lack of strategy, governance and business change It s just an Office product right? SharePoint can have a big impact on process SharePoint can have a bigger impact on behaviour SharePoint can have even a bigger impact on culture Politics (again)
SharePoint Governance 1 The power of SharePoint is also its biggest governance issue. 2 Governance done correctly helps users and drives adop+on. 3 SharePoint without governance is another word for chaos. 4 If you don t have a governance site in your IA why not? 5 Does your governance have authority or is it a gummy shark. 6 You need to communicate your governance and enforce it. 7 Governance principles and guidelines need to be maintained. SharePoint Governance exists to ensure that expecta9ons are met, consistency and performance is maintained, resources are managed and risks are avoided or mi9gated. 8 A clear and documented governance framework is a must!

Needs and Benefits Benefits Business Needs Requirements are a statement of HOW something should behave. They do not explain the WHY. Requirements without Needs and Benefits run the risk of not being business aligned and may not deliver an effec9ve return. Business Needs should have Benefits and these should align with the Requirements. Requirements
Stakeholders Your SharePoint Family You should look for stakeholders that have the 9me, interest and clout that you need. No two families are the same most are dysfunc9onal deal with it!
Engagement & Adoption If you choose not to put effort into engagement and adop9on your solu9on will only have a 50/50 chance of real success. To avoid flipping a coin it is important to focus on how to get people to USE a solu9on. Otherwise you might end up with an ini9a9ve.
