SharePoint Identity Crisis – Part 4

Author: Michael Hinckley

Hey we are getting somewhere. We now know there is a crisis and we even know who is going sort it out and a little bit about just who the WHO is.


In my experience once you start filling in this role you’ll soon find yourself at the center of attention and all sorts of questions about how SharePoint is going to cure all the organization’s woes.

And how is it you may ask… I can only offer more questions. The answers to which I have written about already and are found on this site. So I decided to redirect you to the places you’ll need on your journey.

The first question harks back to the ancients, Is you organization Sparta or Greece?

EUSP Planning sheet.

What is your organization’s change culture like? This question and others like it are answered in this great series by Lee Reed.

Is for my organization SharePoint a Platform or Product? Grab and Go. (Case = Platform and Food = Product)

Then we have what kind of leadership role should I take? One from the corner….

What do we stand to gain? For all you bean counter out there…

If I build will they come? Yes they will.

After ten plus years of developing and managing e learning projects I have found myself in the unique position to drive the innovation at an enterprise level.

My current title is Instructor at Citibank, although training delivery is one aspect of what I do, most of my job and interests included knowledge and content management and how it can be effectively distributed. This path has led me to SharePoint technologies as the medium to deliver customized “just in time training” and knowledge solutions.

When I am not tinkering under my MOSS sites hoods and bothering the IT department regarding admin level permissions you’ll find me either at home relaxing with my wonderful wife and three children or at my boxing gym trying to improve my “sweet science” despite the science of gravity and advancing years.
