I really think no explanation is needed. Hope this makes you smile.. Thanks again for being an awesome SharePoint community!
If you can only dream about working an 8 hour day, there’s a good chance you are a SharePoint professional.
We are delighted to present to you videos of two fantastic keynote presentations from European SharePoint Conference 2011, exclusive to our community members only.
Last Friday I got the fantastic message that I had successfully passed the Microsoft Certified Architect – SharePoint 2010 (MCA) certification, something I’m really proud of – but something most of the community never ever heard of. During this weekend I’ve been pinged and messaged by a lots of people asking the question “What is a Microsoft Certified Architect?”. In this post I intend to answer it as thorough as possible, including my own personal aspects of it.
One of the great things about traveling for my job is that I get more time to catch up on reading while traveling than I often have sitting at home. On a recent trip from Seattle to New York City, I was reading through a Harvard Business Review article on our current recession, and the impact on the technology sector. The article presented an interesting idea which correlates, I believe, to patterns in many SharePoint deployments: increasing productivity without increasing demand leads to resource disparities, to which many companies compensate by decreasing headcount – instead of retooling and reusing those people. That is my theory, anyway.
As I’ve been traveling, I’ve received a number of questions from folks about where they can get my content to view “offline”, on the road, etc. With many thanks to Franklin Teagle, who spearheads our SharePoint Community Site, I can share with you a list of recent videos and recordings that he compiled. These are “live” recordings, with questions and answers, glitches, demos and “uh’s and ah’s”, but they’re a great way to catch up with some (if I may say so) pretty good SharePoint content
Sometimes, you just have to stop trying to fix what is so broken that the cost of fixing doesn’t warrant the benefit. This is especially true of SharePoint governance.
During recent months, my work has focused heavily on helping organizations across all verticals and sizes tackle governance.
As we learned in last Wednesday’s Social Business TweetJam, creating a social business requires a unique combination of people, process and technology. For SharePoint users, the technology is the easy part, but getting the people and process in place can be challenging.
As a special treat for our Community members, next month we have an exclusive preview eBook from the forthcoming book “Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Creating and Implementing Real-World Projects” by Christian Buckley, Brian Jackett, Jennifer Mason and Wes Preston.
When I joined Microsoft in 2006, it was at the tail-end of SPS2003, and organizations were preparing to make the move to MOSS2007. My team (which changed from MMS to BPOS-Dedicated to what is now Office365-D) was responsible for migrating internal Microsoft environments to the new platform, as well as building out a hosted platform for external customers. What was interesting about joining the company at that time was seeing the change in focus around content and community interest.
Lots of people ask me how you can use assessments to measure the effectiveness of informal learning. If people are learning at different times, in different ways and without structure, how do you know it’s happening? And how can you justify investment in social and informal learning initiatives?
