[...] Limitations and capabilities are known quantities and we enter into what Mark Miller referenced as unconscious competence. With wisdom, we articulate abstract concepts to provide concrete solutions to real world problems. [...]

Long John Willoughby: Hey, stop worryin’, Colonel, fifty bucks ain’t gonna ruin me.
The Colonel: I’ve seen plenty of fellas start out with fifty bucks and wind up with a *bank* account!
Beany: Hey, what’s wrong with a bank account, anyway?
The Colonel: And let me tell you, Long John, when you become a guy with a bank account, they gotcha! Yes sir, they gotcha!
Beany: Who’s got him?
The Colonel: The helots!

Good luck Mark, things turned out OK for Gary Cooper.

Congrats Mark!

As a BA that uses SharePoint as one of my main tool sets, I agree with the “Just because we can doesn’t mean we should” approach. There needs to be a business reason and that reason should be to benefit the customer.

Congratulations Mark!

I too look forward to a different approach for EUSP.

I tallied the last 50+/- posts and roughly categorized those to see how many were actual hands-on, end-user solutions. My rough estimate was a little more than a third. To cap it off and with all due respect to today’s post writer (The Ring for the…..), the article couldn’t be more tech-esoteric and unfamiliar to a moderate end user.

With SharePoint growing like a weed, it’s vital for the ones who are maturing in their competence to understand that end-user solutions are the hooks that grab us and make our work lives better. If I want theory, I’ll seek out another blog.

Thanks for all your tremendous guidance and stewardship of EUSP. I’ve grown smarter for your involvement and I’ve come to know some incredible players in the SharePoint world. You’ve brought it all to my doorstep.

Well, obviously I’m just piling on here, but this is one more hearty congratulations and another voice to say that any content applying Sharepoint to BPM is going to be read carefully and with great interest!

Congrats on the new gig. Although I’m relatively new to Sharepoint (6 months) I’ve been passionate about business users being able to automate their own business processes for more than 10 years.

I believe every Fortune 1,000 company would benefit from an internal Sharepoint evangelist whose job is to achieve measurable cost savings by empowering business groups to automate their own business processes without the aid of a dot net Sharepoint developer.
