a decade of sharepoint adoption strategies
DESCRIPTION
In ten years, we’ve seen a wide range of SharePoint usage and success. Based on ten years’ experience as a SharePoint architect, author and consultant for users in multinational Fortune 500 enterprises as well as five person small businesses, we'll share the best (and a little of the worst!) in proven user adoption strategies. We’ll cover training, project design, “killer apps”, expectation management, user support and SLAs, generational and international audiences, “marketing for IT”, and the three things to NEVER allow in any SharePoint rollout.Presented 15 Dec 2011 at the Puget Sound SharePoint User GroupTRANSCRIPT
