SharePoint Fatigue Syndrome

SharePoint Fatigue Syndrome is SharePoint manifested burnout. The symptoms include feeling physically and emotionally drained, difficulty maintaining optimism and energy levels, feeling that you have less to give as the burden of work seems overwhelming. Sound familiar?

The problem is that SharePoint Fatigue Syndrome is a negatively reinforcing cycle. As evidenced by the SharePoint attrition rate, money isn’t that great a motivator. If it was, then the void of skilled resources would have been filled by now. Paying more money might give you a short term gain, but in the long term is not going to address my seven causes of SharePoint Fatigue Syndrome

SharePoint Governance : How are YOU Communicating and Managing SharePoint?

If you own SharePoint in your company, be very careful what you do on the platform and what you say to your business users.  It matters.  Get your story straight, get the right expertise in if you don’t have it in-house.  And don’t alienate the people that take the most care of the platform by making blanket, baseless decisions that directly affect them.  Because if you do, your users will hate you with just as much passion.  And then nobody wins.

Success at International Conference Awards 2011

The International Conference Awards 2011, held in London, saw  The Eventful Group win Best Asia Pacific Conference, in a field of over 1000 entries from an enormous array of companies and organisations from all over the world. The Conference Awards are an annual event, bringing together hundreds of executives from over 140 of the top businesses in the industry. It is an occasion that brings together all the international leaders in the industry to network, share their ideas and innovations as well as to recognise achievements.

The event that won this award was SHARE2010, a conference known for its ingenuity and unique approach to Microsoft Sharepoint, being aimed directly at businesses and the establishment of a professional community. To win this award was a huge success. Share is unique, as it is the only conference that is specifically designed to help users address business issues in a vibrant, diverse and thriving international community. It brings together delegates, partners and speakers in an atmosphere of innovation, allowing them to engage in new ways, coming out of the conference with new perspectives, ideas and relationships.

The competitors in this category included The Economist’s ‘Healthcare in Asia, Financial Times’ ‘World Bank Singapore Infrastructure Finance Summit,’ Terrapinn’s Asia Mining Congress and Alphabet’s Future Government Summit. The key factor that the conferences were judged on was to ‘lift speaker presentations’ in both content and delivery, to the highest possible level of engagement and response from the audience.

We are very proud to have won this award, will continue to strive to make our events the most innovative, exciting and engaging in the world.
