WHAT: Microsoft's SharePoint has become a major platform for document management and team collaboration within organisations. Many knowledge managers have to know this tool to deliver their services within organisations and so there is a critical need to work effectively with SharePoint developers and administrators. This event brings together the Sydney SharePoint User Group and the NSW Knowledge Management Forum for an evening of discussion and debate.
HOW: The event will follow a 'cafe' format - with participants sharing their experiences around topics of mutual interest. Each table will focus on a topic and participants will have the opportunity to rotate between tables (& topics) during the course of the event. This format is inspired by approaches such as the World Cafe (
http://www.theworldcafe.com/what.htm) and Open Space (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology)
Some potential topics include:
- Document management
- Team collaboration
- Search
- Publishing & intranets
- Understanding user requirements
- Encouraging adoption
- Administering technology environments
- Customisation and the world of plug-ins.
To help us with preparation, when you RSVP (see below) we'd like you to tell us the three broad topics you would like to see covered.
