SharePoint Roadmap for Collaboration by Michael Sampson - Chapter 1

Michael Sampson, global expert in SharePoint governance, business engagement and end user adoption, has been kind enough to make the first chapter of his recently published 2nd book available to NZKM members for free.

His book provides valuable insights into the people and process side of implementing and management SharePoint. The first chapter provides and overview of the content and insights in the book. It's a must read for anyone involved in SharePoint implementations.

Knowledge Management in Europe - Current issues and practice

Knowledge Management is no longer a new buzz word in Europe, it is a well-established practice in organizations. This was reflected in the presentations at the 10th European Conference on Knowledge Management - there were many case studies and reports from existing practices; advances in familiar areas such as knowledge sharing and KM implementation; and new emerging topics and issues such as use of social networking tools in business and valuation of knowledge management initiatives.

Enterprise Social Collaboration Research Study - David Coleman, Collaborative Strategies

This is a research study done by David Coleman of Collaborative Strategies, on 4 different populations as well as 12 interviews of large organizations that have implemented social networks. David has kindly made this available to NZKM members. For more information about David and his work, go to www.collaborate.com. 

Masterclass in SharePoint Collaboration & Governance with Michael Sampson

In this masterclass, collaboration and SharePoint guru Michael Sampson will take you through the steps required to make collaboration a success inside your organization.

Knowledge-based work, as we’re finally realising, is collaborative in nature. This is the primary reason we’re seeing a rush to implement collaboration applications inside the enterprise. But just installing an application does not mean that the magic we want will happen. It requires proper thinking, planning and governing to make collaboration work.

Challenges and opportunities in working with intranets in New Zealand - Dorje McKinnon

Introduction to the challenges and great work being done with New Zealand intranets. Report from the BrightStar Strategic Intranet summit in August by Dorje McKinnon, the illustrious chair of the conference, and founder of the KiwiIntranets online group.

An introduction: Hi, I'm Mike Riverdsale, who are you?

It was at an NZKM lunchtime catch-up here in Wellington that someone made a great observation - "Let's not dive into having formal agenda but start by getting to know each other" (I paraphrase).

And that person was totally onto it - without us actually knowing each other it's pretty tough to share ideas, have trust and get along. And so, this is me (source: my company site):

This month's NZKM event is in partnership with the Sharepoint User Group.

Ian Anderson on 'Policies & Procedures are critical knowledge assets that need special treatment'

Different categories of knowledge assets need different rules for drafting, approvals, publishing, and version management. Policies & Procedures are different from other knowledge assets in that they affect all parts of the business, are referred to frequently by many staff, must be clear, accurate, and up-to-date at all times, and are often a web of inter-related documents.
