2-day In-person Seminar: SharePoint - Not really an IT project By Richard Machanoff

Overview:

SharePoint is a web-based document management and collaboration tool with robust search capabilities that has become a common feature in the corporate environment. Companies experience varying levels of SharePoint success and user adoption. Many SharePoint implementations fail with little user acceptance after a substantial corporate investment in software and hardware. Often the root cause of failure is because SharePoint is not an IT project, it is a Knowledge Management project with SharePoint as the technology platform for Knowledge Management. This seminar will delve into information taxonomy, findability, demystifying metadata and the death of folders, SharePoint Governance, and strategies for a successful SharePoint rollout.

The seminar explores SharePoint, Knowledge Management and the interplay between both. Seminar sessions will provide analysis and insight into:

• SharePoint defined and what it can do for your company.
• SharePoint Online vs. SharePoint On-premises
• What is Knowledge Management
• Findability, information taxonomy and metadata
• Some common uses of SharePoint
• SharePoint Governance
• Lessons Learned from successful SharePoint rollouts

Examples from successful SharePoint implementations will be provided along with lessons learned. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• SharePoint-not really an IT project
• Why SharePoint implementations fail, and how to ensure success
• SharePoint On-premises vs. SharePoint Online
• Findability, Taxonomy and Metadata
• Knowledge Management as a key to SharePoint Success
• Lessons Learned from successful SharePoint Projects
• SharePoint Governance

Why should you attend :

Your CEO was meeting with some colleagues and found that many of them were using SharePoint. The CEO comes back to the office and asks IT why we don't have SharePoint and wants IT to set it up. What happens next can result in a costly investment with little user acceptance and bad PR for the IT Department, or a system that contributes to knowledge worker productivity. 

There is a strong correlation between IT and SharePoint, but SharePoint is not an IT project. SharePoint is a technology platform for corporate information sharing and collaboration guided by Knowledge Management. IT must manage the SharePoint technology platform, but it is Knowledge Managers that implement and foster user adoption. 

Some of the topics presented in this Seminar cover:

• Learn why SharePoint is not an IT project (if it is to successful)
• SharePoint Online vs. SharePoint On-premises, what makes sense for your company?
• Where's my stuff: search, findability, metadata and the death of folders.
• How importance is SharePoint Governance?
• What is Knowledge Management and why is it important to SharePoint user adoption?
• I have SharePoint but now what do I do with it?

Who Will Benefit:

• CIO
• COO
• IT Director, IT Manager
• Project Managers
• Business Unit Mangers
• CFO
• QA Directors/Managers
• Document Managers and Knowledge Managers

Rummler Process Methodology (RPM) Seminar By Alan Ramias

                                                            Overview:

The basis for this workshop is the world's best-known approach to process improvement, pioneered by Geary Rummler at Motorola in the 1980's and taught by one of his key project leaders. The primary focus of this workshop is practice with tools and methods. The RPM methodology for defining, analyzing, designing and implementing process improvement are taught through a series of exercises, simulations and applications to real processes and to a variety of case situations. The teaching approach gives participants maximum hands-on experience in using the tools and techniques. The underlying theories on which RPM is based are not covered in detail; instead, class participants complete a pre-reading that walks them through a case example Participants come away with the world's most comprehensive toolkit for process improvement projects. 

Why should you attend :

There are many tools and concepts for process improvement and management, but without an adequate grounding in the program that originated BPM, you may not be adequately equipped to conduct large-scale improvement efforts. Unless you are knowledgeable about the critical success factors for effective business process improvement, you are likely to risk failure because of the many pitfalls and challenges of this difficult discipline. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• How to scope a process improvement project
• How to organize a process improvement project
• How to analyze an existing process and identify performance issues
• How to conduct a process analysis review
• How to create a strategy for the Design phase
• How to design an improved process
• How to determine the readiness of the organization for change
• How to achieve agreement to the to-be design
• How to manage the detailed design of the process components
• How to structure and manage implementation

Who Will Benefit:

• Process Excellence Specialists/Consultants
• BPM Specialists
• Process Owners
• Global Process Officers
• Performance Improvement Experts

Mr. Ramias co-developed the RPM methodology while working at Motorola as an internal consultant. I conducted the first projects at Motorola that resulted in winning the Malcolm Baldrige Award in 1988. I worked at the Rummler-Brache Group in the 1990's as a senior project leader and then as head of the Consulting Division. I led large process improvement projects and taught classes in companies such as Shell, 3M, Hewlett-Packard, DuPont, Citibank, Chevron, Dow Chemical, NYNEX (now Verizon), Bank One, Steelcase and Fidelity. I have conducted improvement projects for Asian companies such as Standard Chartered Bank and Chinatrust. I co-authored two books on process and organizational improvement (White Space Revisited and Rediscovering Value). I have been a keynote speaker at Gartner conferences. I am a columnist for the on-line magazine BP Trends.

Open Data Protocol (OData) Workshop By Chris Woodruff

 

Overview:

Interested in OData? Want to discover what the next revolution in data will be? In this seminar, the attendee is invited to consider the many opportunities and challenges for data-intensive applications, inter-organizational data sharing for "data mashups," the establishment of new processes and pipelines, and an agenda to exploit the opportunities as well as stay ahead of the data deluge. 

OData is consistent with the way the Web works - it makes a deep commitment to URIs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with those resources (just like the Web). This commitment to core Web principles allows OData to enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools. 

In this seminar Chris will provide an in depth knowledge to this protocol, how to consume a OData service and finally how to implement an OData service on Windows using ASP.NET Web API. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• REST and the principles of the Internet
• Introduce the Open Data Protocol (OData)
• Detailed working knowledge of the OData protocol
• Develop your own OData feed that produces data
• Develop web and mobile applications that consume data from an OData feed

Why should you attend :

Does your organization build web and mobile applications for your customers, clients and/or employees? Do you want to get those applications out into their hands quicker and with less maintainability from your already over-worked IT staff? Knowing and understanding what the Open Data Protocol (OData) can bring to your enterprise will allow you to build one data platform for all aspects of your IT needs. It will open up a new way to look at your data that you may not have thought possible. 

In this seminar we go further and give hands on learning that will prepare the attendee when they leave the 2 day workshop. 

Who Will Benefit:

• Application Development Managers
• Application/Software Architects
• Application/Software Developers and Engineers
• Database Developers
