On Wiki Adoption: Some Useful Takeaways
Stewart Mader, a guy who knows a thing or two about Wikis, offers some fine pointers on organizational Wiki adoption. Having traveled this path not long ago with a client, I can attest that the info he generously shares can help you and your client overcome real (or perceived) obstacles to cross the Wiki Rubicon, and to begin enjoying the benefits of utilizing these versatile, powerful tools for aggregating and sharing information within your organization.
The key to successful wiki adoption is to create the conditions for steady growth over a period of time. This gives teams the time and attention they need to be successful, and allows the people managing the wiki to ensure the service grows appropriately to meet the needs of the expanding user base. As people experience the benefits of wiki use, they will spread buzz, and help build steady demand.
Fortunately, Stewart’s most recent webinar on Using Wikis to Improve Productivity with Jason Rothbart of GroupSwim has been archived for our collective dining and dancing pleasure. Takeaways abound. Enjoy.
