Challenges and enablers • Currently different network drives n and z eg forms, budgetry info. Each only available to half the team. • PCT caseload Database – only available to PCT • Calendar access –LBN people can not see PCT diaries and vice versa. Some PCT people use whereabouts sheet rather than Calendar. • Meeting rooms and other common resources available to be booked by the whole team • Local policies and procedures not always up to date or easily located • Minutes of mtgs not always available e.g. team, mgmnt, H&S etc • Images are used for accessibility of information – distributed across many places • Sharing and publishing info to the LD Internet site • Internet – links to BILD, CSCI, HCC, Valuing people, FPWLD, DoH, etc • Number of contact lists not always up to date • Team calendar for important mtg eg partnership boards etc • Cautionary Contacts currently only available to LBN people
Solution • SharePoint site • 100 people • 2 networks • Offering • Document libraries • Team sites • Meeting sites • Project sites • Resource booking • Announcements • Discussions • Surveys • Whereabouts • Shared Contacts • Shared Favourites
Very early days but….. • The major benefit groups identified are: • Strategic enablement of a true partnership through a common infrastructure • Improvement in team cohesion and morale • Some improvements to the Quality of Service • Process Improvement, leading to some productivity benefits
SharePoint Lessons learned • Coordinating practitioners with one ICT department can be interesting. Working with two………… • Working with a local authority agenda can be interesting. Working with the NHS agenda as well…….. • Responsive ICT support is reqd in the setup stage • Technology can be a challenge but change is the hard part • Senior managment sponsorship is essential • …but so is coal face engagement (super user selection) • Clear links to the core activities and addressing today’s challenges • Be clear about the scope • Do the benefits work up front • Training is required • Maintaining visibility, commitment and momentum is essential • Practitioner find it quite hard to imagine but easy to redesign • It takes longer than you think to get a taxonomy defined • Communication
