Benefits of implementing a wiki in an organisation
While looking for examples of successful implementation of wikis inside organisations, I read an interesting article on CNNMoney.com about “Boosting teamwork with wikis“.
This show the real benefits on teamwork a company can get from wikis. I also describes the obstacles to overcome in order to implement it successfully.
Below are a few quotes from the article that are relevant in my opinion to understand the problem :
“The biggest reason that we’re switching is that the wiki is easier to use,” says Rosen. “If employees see a better way to organize or present information, they can just go ahead and do it with a wiki.
As with many contentious entries on Wikipedia, the two sides edited each other’s decisions repeatedly until they came to a compromise: The orders could go in both categories. “It forced everybody to learn about each other’s job,” says Rosen. “That benefits us in the long run.”
