If you are deploying SharePoint 2010, you have probably considered the technical aspects, how it will support workflows, document management and sales for example; all key elements to drive the business. But have you considered how content will be migrated, accessed, maintained, enhanced and improved in the platform, while encouraging collaboration?

This SharePoint 2010 checklist will encourage adoption and best practice, helping business’ information compliance and security goals are met. It has everything you need to check you have an effective content strategy for SharePoint.

It will help if you have some form of intranet governance framework – strategy, plan, roles and responsibilities, standards, etc. – in place first. But don’t worry if you don’t or you want to improve it.

It is a common problem as I know from personal experience. An organisation will closely track all the physical assets that you hold – computer, phone, car, etc, – and want them returned before you leave.

But your digital assets and your intellectual assets are rarely managed so the knowledge about how your work is carried out – processes, priorities,etc. – and the right contacts are lost to your successor (if your replacement has not been recruited), your manager and other people you work with.

When you have one of the best intranets globally – don’t take my word for it, ask the Intranet Benchmarking Forum who independently assessed it – why would you decide to make the biggest change to your intranet since it was created over 15 years ago?

Simply communicate have published a great article I have written which explains why BT decided on SharePoint 2010 and how it went about implementing it successfully while I was the BT Intranet manager.

In my last post 'Make a newbie welcome and more engaged' I started to answer the question "How do I engage employees and improve collaboration?". This covered how day 1 can be the right start for a newbie joining a business. In this post I want to cover how you can build over the next few weeks on what you have achieved so far for a newbie.

Remember, you want your newbie to be as engaged to the business as quickly and fully as possible. You want someone who is very productive!
