More classes planned and clearing the air…
Hi all
I have a couple of important community service type announcements to make.
How do I know I’m attending a legitimate Seven Sigma Class?
Sometimes the training marketplace can be confusing with various organisations offering various courses. Ask any attendee of the SPGov+IA class and they will attest to the uniqueness of our course. Both myself, and some of my trusted local partners have been contacted by people about other SharePoint courses in the Information Architecture space, wondering if we endorse or are in any way associated with them. This has happened again recently, so it’s probably worth clearing the air here and now.
Ahem
Seven Sigma has a number of relationships with like-minded organisations around the world. In the UK, we have a terrific relationship with Andrew and Ant at 21apps. In New Zealand, we work with Chan at 3Grow and Debbie at EnvisionIT. In the US we work with Erica Toelle at FPWeb, as well as Ruven Gotz and in Brisbane recently we worked with Alpesh Nakar from Just SharePoint.
Aside from myself, Ant Clay of 21apps is the only authorised trainer of our courseware. Essentially if Ant or I are not running the class, then it’s not my class!. Visit the trainer section of www.spgovia.com for our details.
Furthermore outside of Australia, if the course organiser is not Andrew Woodward or Ant Clay (Europe), Erica Toelle or Ruven Gotz (US), Chan or Debbie Ireland (New Zealand), then it is not the SPGov+IA class.
www.spgovia.com is the official site for the SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture Master Class. Here you can find out about the class, feedback from past attendees, schedules and registration information. This is the authoritative source for all information related to all classes. Each of the above partners will publish location specific information about classes that they plan to run.
More SPGov+IA classes for 2011 (and Issue Mapping Class is a go…)
I am proud to report that the first ever Issue Mapping Master Class, co-developed with CogNexus and run by Seven Sigma happened in my home town of Perth last month. This has been a long time coming, and the feedback from the first attendees was immensely gratifying.
Definitely one of the best courses I have ever attended…I have already recommended to many people that they should get on the next course if possible. Jon Gorton
This course was brilliant. The technique itself is a valuable tool for any business with multiple applications. Leisha Velterop
So now on top of the SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture Class, we can offer a specialist course on the craft of Issue and Dialogue Mapping – something that regular readers of this blog may be familiar with. For all alumni of the SPGov+IA class who put their hand up for a dedicated IBIS class, you now have your wish. The Issue Mapping class will be taken onto the road for the first time too and the plan is to run both classes in each location.
To that end, we have classes locked in for Auckland and Wellington. But Melbourne and the US East coast are also being earmarked in the latter part of 2011. Here are the planned classes so far.
- September 5-6, 2011: #SPIAAKL SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture (Auckland, New Zealand)
- September 8-9, 2011 #IMAKL Issue Mapping Master Class (Auckland, New Zealand)
- September 12,-13 2011 #SPIAWEL SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture (Wellington, New Zealand)
- October 12,-13 2011 #IMPER Issue Mapping Master Class (Perth, Australia)
- November 10-11 2011 #SPIASIN SharePoint Governance and Information Architecture (Singapore)
We will publish more details of the new class as soon as we can.
Thanks for reading
Paul Culmsee
