As SharePoint technologies evolve into the 'OS for the enterprise,' it is increasingly important that executives understand what this means to their respective organizations. Understanding the tremendous upside potential and the organizational change required to realize that potential will help gain the executive buy-in and support required to successfully deliver SharePoint solutions. Remember that collaboration begins at the beginning of a SharePoint project, not at the end. Organizations with executives who are engaged in SharePoint implementations are far more likely to experience higher adoption rates among users and an increased return on investment.
Innovative-e can facilitate an onsite executive briefing that guides decision makers in maximizing the strategic business value of SharePoint. Key topics discussed:
- Executive Engagement
SharePoint rollouts are often delegated to the IT department without executive buy-in or executive leadership. This creates a disastrous situation for the IT department, end users, and the organization as a whole. Innovative-e SharePoint Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) provide executives with on-site and remote coaching to help them reap the business benefits of SharePoint, understand the business value it brings, and engage with the IT department to properly implement it.
- Enterprise Adoption
For a SharePoint rollout to be successful, a change management strategy must be put in place to encourage widespread adoption among users. Both the IT department and the executive team need to work together to help end users see the technology as an enabler versus seeing it as another tool mandated by IT. If users can see how SharePoint solves a pain point, they will see the value of leveraging the technology.
- Governance
A governance strategy is key in helping your organization streamline processes, ward off security threats, and ensure the use of best practices. Innovative-e will help you develop a custom governance strategy to keep your SharePoint project on track during implementation and long into the future.
