Failing to adopt and optimise SharePoint could be the answer if you have ever felt that keeping everyone in the loop with projects, finance, sales, diaries and business planning was a bit like playing a game of Twister. Even if you’ve already made the technology investment in SharePoint to allow your businesses to increase its productivity and reduce its costs – through wider thinking and better informed planning and decision making – you can still feel like you’re playing Twister during the implementation, adoption and optimisation of it. It may all look like a simple game and start off quite pedestrian but it very quickly descends into you having to bend over backwards and unnecessarily extend yourself. Before long the next move involves someone else getting in your way and, invariably, at some point the whole thing collapses!
When it comes to SharePoint then this analogy may be a bit simplistic. However, it does illustrate that even with the best will in the world – and unless your adoption, implementation and optimisation processes are carefully considered and planned – you risk losing precious time and money. This can leave your staff disenfranchised and unmotivated. Just like Twister, you’re guaranteed at some point to find yourself in a precarious position that you don’t feel comfortable with.
Lack of effective adoption of SharePoint is actually an all too common problem. It’s estimated that 50% of Content Management implementations fail for this very reason because it’s like trying to play Twister if you’re colour blind. The promise of colleagues being able to share ideas, processes and thinking while they collaborate more efficiently can all come to nothing if the technical implementation of SharePoint is only considered in isolation. We actually released a comprehensive (and free) Top 10 Tips Guide around this subject recently which you can get and we’ll be covering this in our forthcoming webinar series (please leave your details in the comments section below or contact us here if you would like to be invited to any of our free masterclass webinar sessions).
At MindPoint we’ve seen many companies get themselves completely tied up in knots playing ‘SharePoint Twister’ because they haven’t identified all the issues around introducing it. At the heart of this is the fact that each company is different – be it their product, their structure, their sales cycle and/or their people and this all has to be factored into any design, implementation and training programme associated with successfully introducing SharePoint into your business.
MindPoint is a SharePoint consultancy with a difference because our starting point is with people and processes rather than just with the software itself.
