"Often I have watched enterprises use chaos and complexity theory for the deployment of their SharePoint applications. The goal seems to be throw it out there, see if it sticks, and if it does, then let it self-organize. This may work very well for certain microbial colonies or ant colonies, but humans need guidance and direction. The new AIIM SharePoint Certificate Program provides the vision and roadmap to organize a SharePoint deployment around total efficacy." Attendee from Utah
