Worldwide buzz for 21 Days of Wiki Adoption

Worldwide MapFred Zelders from the Netherlands has written about the series on his blog frEdSCAPES.

Luis Suarez from Spain has written about it on his blog ELSUA:

…check out Stewart Mader’s series on 21 Days of Wiki Adoption. I bet, I know, I am sure of it, that after watching through the entire show with the different episodes, you would be more than ready to start deploying those wikis within your organisation.

The Rootpad from the UK has linked to the series on their blog Squareeyez.

Tyler from South Africa has written about it on his blog Younique:

He makes some really valid points and I can’t wait to see the rest of the series.

Martin Koser from Germany has written about the series on his blog frogpond:

Whoa, fresh content for this blog is secured for the next 20 days…I’ll try to not only post his content but to add some thoughts and observations of mine as time permits.

Martin also wrote an excellent review of the Wikipatterns book on his blog and Amazon.de:

…it’s an excellent read for managers and people who want to introduce a more collaborative way of working into their organisations and who are pondering wiki use: It’s an eye-opener, especially because it shows that success doesn’t come easily with wikis (does it with any tool?), and that it takes some effort and commitment. This book is filled with practical examples, case studies and interviews with wiki champions, that demonstrate the real-life complexities too, e.g. that a successful wiki introduction in organizations needs a number of different roles interplaying.

Thank you Fred, Luis, The Rootpad, Tyler, and Martin!

Growing a successful, grassroots supports wiki in your organization is an important journey. It’s about much more than just technology. Wikis strip away the technical distractions like complicated interfaces, complex processes, and restrictive architectures, and leave it to us to strip away the complexities in our organizations’ cultures, and in our own attitudes, to bring people together.

  1. Hi Stewart! Oh, no problem at all! Thanks a bunch for the feedback comments and the link love! I must say that we should be the ones grateful to you, because you are helping out a huge deal paving out the road for us warriors to keep evangelising on making use of wikis within the enterprise and with examples like the videos you have been publishing thus far and the Wikipatterns book (Will start reading it this coming weekend! :) ) ) things will be much easier!

    So thanks for that, too! And keep having fun!
