I haven’t written a blog post in a very long time, and there’s a good reason for that – I’ve been very, very busy. Today is the first time in a long while that I feel like I can take the time to write a blog post without a client potentially being annoyed that I’ve been doing something other than working on their project. Subsequently the list of things to blog about has grown really long so I have heaps to share over the next few months.
A few people have already been talking about SharePoint and the recession lately, and what to do in these uncertain times ...
I think a ‘recession’ in general is a good excuse for many things – laying off staff, salary freezes, going back to school or buying cheaper cookies for morning tea. But what does the recession mean for you and me?
Here at Trinkit/SharePoint Depot we have been coming up with a recession plan. The general thought is that we may have more time on our hands so we have brainstormed a bunch of things we can do....
-
Create products
-
Explore new technologies
-
Create internal applications
-
Enhance company profile and brand
-
Get more involved in the community (Blog more)
-
Spend more time mentoring junior staff
After coming up with all these great ideas, we found that we were actually looking forward to a ‘recessive’ quiet time. For me personally I look forward to getting more involved in the community and getting through some of those old TODO’s.
UPDATE: I wrote this post about 6 weeks ago and have only just now found the time to publish it.
