Subject: Governance for Microsoft SharePoint2010

Pain Points:
Microsoft SharePoint2010 provides portal capability, a range of content management capability, search, collaboration, social capability and workflow capability in a single product. SharePoint continues to be the fastest-growing area of Microsoft's software business, and, with the launch of Office 365 in early 2011, SharePoint Online becomes a key component of Microsoft's cloud strategy as well. While SharePoint is very powerful, it is also complex and becoming increasingly business critical as organizations replace legacy applications for collaboration, document management, web content management, and business intelligence with SharePoint. SharePoint is so easy for end users to work with that unmanaged SharePoint installations sprawl quickly. All of these factors contribute to the need for a disciplined approach for ongoing SharePoint governance activities to ensure that the proper policies, processes, and controls will be defined to manage cost, risk, and user adoption.

Technology Leaders Association (TLA) was established to help senior level IT executives develop and manage their careers. As part of this effort, we hold monthly meetings to network, share ideas, and learn from featured guest speakers in the career management field.

STRUCTURED NETWORKING:
Structured networking is a technique used at most major executive transition groups. It is meant to be a powerful method of generating ideas that might help each of our searches.

During this process, we will quickly brainstorm potential job lead ideas, gain networking contacts at desired companies, and generate advice from the members by sharing our backgrounds as well as our career objectives.

It is designed to generate ideas, but given the time constraints, not get into immediate detailed discussions. You should plan on following up with anybody who may have had an interesting idea or a good contact.

Please bring business cards, handbills (career overview) or resumes (plain paper is fine) to pass around if you have them. Figure on about 20 copies of the resumes/handbills and 50 business cards.

We will run our networking, dividing the room into small tables of a maximum of6 people and doing 2 table rotations before our speaker begins.

At each rotation, you will have 90 seconds for your pitch and about 90 seconds for Q&A.

SPEND NO MORE THAN 1/3
-summarizing your past (this is not the time to rehash your resume),
-what you are looking for, and
-what we can do to help (such as target contacts) or ask for advice on an issue.
