SharePoint Paradox Meets SharePoint Governance | SharePoint Magazine

It is only from experiencing SharePoint’s strengths and weaknesses across its diverse range of functionality, from portal, to BI, to DMS, to CMS, forms, from generic horizontal platform to adapted vertical solution, and how it performs across diverse business applications, that you can begin to understand and identify SharePoint best practice and effective governance practices.

SharePoint Practice = Best Practice

In short, you need a lot of ‘SharePoint practice’ to be able to provide ‘SharePoint best practice’.

Most businesses can not afford to implement systems, let alone a widespread platform like SharePoint, on a trial and error basis trying to work out the best way to do things ‘on the job’ (though some Partners often try to get away with having their staff learn that way!)

So in conclusion as you work through your SharePoint implementation and ongoing management, if it isn’t producing the business advantage and results you expect, find a partner who has a SharePoint specialistion.

Draw on their rich best practice to source and develop your governance plan, stop the SharePoint paradox, and get the SharePoint results and business success you want.

In following articles I will explore Practice Governance and the best practice it is based upon in more detail.
