Sometimes we wonder how Microsoft ever came up with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect enterprise integration platform and Microsoft is the perfect transactional, product-focused, marketing company. It just doesn’t fit, which is the main problem surrounding the poor adoption and use of the most powerful business application on the market, SharePoint 2010.

The reality is, for a large enterprise to gain the competitive advantage and efficiencies SharePoint can provide, it must look at HOW or better yet WHO is driving adoption.

Here is why the SharePoint BA is so critical. It isn’t about governance or basic administration. Yes, those things are important, but they are the chicken before the egg. The egg is USE!!!

We are right in the middle of the transformation of power in IT systems moving from geeks to the users, because the users are becoming geeks. SharePoint is the pinnical of user enabled IT power.

This web seminar will discuss at a high level

  • The vast potential real world applications for SharePoint.
  • ASPE will dig into the traditional role of a business analyst
  • And they will discuss what the roles and responsibilities would be for a SharePoint business analyst

The optimal goal is to provide details on how organizations can increase the use of SharePoint in the enterprise, which will save a significant amount of money and time and lead to much quicker time to market.

Effective PPM Change Management

Share

Live Webinar – June 20th, 2013 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) initiatives are expected to provide significant benefit to multiple roles within an organization.

Intuitively, most staff can understand the potential value in the organization, process and technology changes involved with a PPM initiative. However, the lack of change management practices through a PPM initiative’s implementation is one of the most common reasons for their failure. Symptoms of this issue can include poor executive commitment, resistance or political pressure from functional management and compliance issues with project teams.

Eclipse will review common misconceptions about PPM initiative implementations, provide some guiding principles for successful change and detail the steps and key communication messages necessary to gain buy-in from executive and functional management as well as from project teams.

This webinar will also provide tips that can be incorporated into the initiation and planning of your PPM initiative to increase your odds of success.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs

Negotiate Like A Professional!

We all benefit from learning to think like a negotiator, even if we don’t negotiate. Interdisciplinary research from the last 30 years has produced a wealth of insights and a robust theory of negotiation that every leader needs to understand, regardless of your role.

  • The most but limiting misconceptions about what negotiation is and isn’t
  • How thinking like a negotiator can instantly make you a better leader, influencer, and problem-solver, regardless of your role
  • Traps that most negotiators – and leaders – fall prey to, and how to avoid them
  • How a good theory of negotiation can spur innovation across your organization
  • Ways that top HR/LD programs have incorporated negotiation into core leadership training curricula
  • Why you are probably wasting money on negotiation training programs
  • The ways in which negotiation is both an individual and organizational capability worth developing
