SharePoint

There’s more to SharePoint than just the technology.  Installing SharePoint is like fitting a new kitchen: it gives you the tools but if the end point is great food then there are many other factors. Focussing on the business end of SharePoint, we can help ensure that your SharePoint project delivers the outcome you need:

  • SharePoint intranet strategy - we offer a detailed review, visioning and planning service to help you understand how best to use SharePoint, what changes will be involved, and how to communicate the benefits to your leaders and employees. Typically we work with internal communications, human resources or knowledge management specialists, and act as a bridge between business needs and your IT team.
  • SharePoint Governance – SharePoint has developed a reputation for runaway sites and confusing navigation. But it need not be this way. ClearBox can help you develop governance that suits your organisations’ goals and culture, and ensures that you have both the right team and policies in place.
  • SharePoint initiation workshop - if you’re new to SharePoint then this one-day session will give your team an orientation and a firm understanding of the steps to be taken.
  • SharePoint adoption – true success with SharePoint is when everyone starts using it as a contributor as well as an information consumer. This calls for planning, listening and a range of engagement approaches. We can help you devise and execute a change plan to bring people on board.
  • SharePoint launch and adoption workshop – if you’re preparing a SharePoint launch, this in-house workshop will help you think through the options, risks and activities. It covers case studies so you can learn from others, practical change management tools and working sessions for your team. At the end you’ll have an immediate and longer-term action plan.
  • SharePoint information architecture workshop – Confused  by metadata, term sets, content types and templates? We can train your team on how to define your information architecture, enhance search and findability, and ensure your sites don’t grow out of control.

“Sam is almost unique among trainers and consultants, in my experience. He combines technical expertise with sound practical advice in order to ensure you’re well-placed to make your Sharepoint launch a success. His work with us on the launch of a new Sharepoint platform has been making a significant difference, and for me, an added bonus is working with someone who explains the value of the technology without the jargon!”
