I’ve been asked about the difference between my “private” workshops and my “public” workshops. The Governance and Taxonomy Workshop provides a strategic view of the business impact of SharePoint, establishes and validates the organization’s taxonomy, establishes a governance model, and creates a project charter complete with requirements matrix. Not bad for two days, although they are two very intense days.
The private workshop occurs at your location, with your team, and exclusively focuses on your company’s taxonomy, governance and project plan. When the private workshop is complete, your team is on the “same page” with regard to SharePoint’s purpose and impact on the organization. You have a very solid top-level taxonomy that has been developed by your team and solidly validated. Your governance model is established and the team is identified. You have a project charter that includes a high-level requirements matrix. And last but not least, you have an “action plan” which outlines exactly what to do next to get the project off the ground.
The public workshop is open to all registrants. The next public workshop is in San Francisco in September and is promoted by both Microsoft and Mindsharp. It is the same curriculum and we will develop the same documents and deliverables. However, it will obviously not be focused on any one organization’s planning needs. Also, if you are the only one from your organization attending the public workshop then you won’t be able to get your team on the same page. You’ll have to do that when you get back to your office.
The private workshop is entirely focused on you and your team, but it costs $8,500 for two days. The public workshop covers the same materials as an open group, but it costs just $995 for two days.
