SharePoint can do just about anything – from collaboration to business intelligence; from shared directories to business processes.

The difficulty with a system this powerful is the delegation of responsibility.

1. Who will create and maintain the infrastructure?
2. Who will create and manage permissions?
3. Who will be responsible for the integrity of your organization’s data?

SharePoint is a widely used product within many organizations. Having your employees properly trained on this system is a must!

The biggest hurdle companies face is the many different experience and knowledge levels employees have in using SharePoint. That’s why it is important to not only train the power users in your organization, but the end users as well. Adoption is less likely to occur if your employees don’t know how to use the product.

This web seminar will cover

• Understanding your training requirements
• Understanding your training requirements
• Common challenges for SharePoint users
• Differentiating between end users and power users
• Steps to creating a training plan
• Tips and Tricks for gaining user adoption

ASPE is a trusted provider for SharePoint training. They train for Power Users and End Users. Join them in this 1 hour webinar to learn how to ensure everyone in your organization is on the same page.

In his research on effective leaders, John Kotter found that one of the things that successful leaders did during their first six months on the job was to create an informal list of the things that they wanted to accomplish. He called this list an Agenda.

Simply put, a leadership agenda answers the basic question, “Where do I want (and/or need) to lead people?”

In this free webinar, Linkage’s Roger Young will share a process and set of tools designed to help you build a strategic, aligned, and balanced leadership agenda and vision.
