We (Mindsharp folks) are launching a new set of education courses this coming Fall under the "SharePoint for Business" umbrella. If you could put together some courses on how SharePoint and business interact, what topics and foci would you have in one or more courses?
Just curious.

Forgot one thing:
4) SharePoint as a decision making enabler - how SP can be used to enable/improve/support decision making
Hi Bill,
Some ideas from me:
1) SharePoint as a Communications platform - show how SP can be leveraged to communicate with employees/other people, and how they can interact with the company in return
2) Business Processes in SharePoint - that could probably be split up. Contents could include Visio, workflows, forms, a combination of these. Possibly also talking about integration of other systems
3) Measuring the Value of SharePoint. Difficult topic, but in my opinion an extremely important one. This could show how to do it, and how others have already received value from SP.
Cheers,
Rene
Bill - as we discussed on our SP2010 AIIM course last Sept, some of the critical things for business are about the functions and features of SharePoint for day to day users, however as important, if not more so, is the requirement for those who wish to implement, govern and maintain the SharePoint platform to be able to do so in a way that keeps control, drives the correct behaviours, while still delivering the flexibility required by the users.
In addition getting your SharePoint platform to a managed and controlled state when it has already been rolled out adhoc and randomly is very much a challenge many businesses (small and large) will face, as people find out about and start using SP before they really understand how to use it properly.
I might be interested in some of these courses if you ever bring them to the UK :-)
