Sounds as if your workshop went very well! Planning is indeed the key with SharePoint and many people find that out after the fact.

I found this to be a very eye opening workshop. With Sharepoint I find that there are many items that become overwelming. When you broke it down into the simple spreadsheets it made much more sense. Thanks again for clearing this confusion for me. I have to agree with Mick’s comments. I found this to be a very eye opening workshop.

The other workshops I have attended on EUSP have a touch of the firework show about them - because of the practical webparts on offer and ease of implementation you see "hs", "HS" and "HS!!" going off all over the place in the chat window. (HOLY SMOKES! for those who have not attended!) The content of this workshop was different to other workshops but the message behind it was more meaningful than some of the previous fireworks. I think when planning you are working at a deeper level than when doing - I guess that's why there were not so much feedback in the chat window - purely because the eureka moments where happening at a deeper more fundamental level of dawning awareness. I think when you have that type of 'awakening' the ideas need a little time to grow legs. I'm probably not explaining that very well but I think you catch my drift. Anybody who has worked at SharePoint knows that if you get your planning right then you can save yourself a lot of work. I thought the impact of the workshop was kept high by having a live customer, this technique delivered a healthy slug of reality to proceedings and was very good. Mark, it was illuminating to hear you in 'consulting mode' - I picked up quite a few tips from hearing you winkle out the information that you were after. For me the workshop was the best so far, I just shut up and drank it all in. Thanks! Planning, to most people, is not quite as interesting as ‘doing’.
