Wikibility Workplaces: 8 cultural key drivers that make Wikis work (producing innovation)

Stewart asked me to present to ikiw.org community the insights contained in my master’s thesis (MSc in Corporate Communication) titled “Wikibility of Innovation Oriented Workplaces – The CERN Case”.

In this dissertation I focus my attention on the Organizational Cultural aspect of the wiki introduction inside organization, supposing that the main reason – and scope – of this change of Culture (=way in which things are done) is to increase Innovation.

Doing that, as you can see from the presentation here embedded, I pointed out eight Cultural Key Drivers that try to answer to my research questions:

  • Which are the attitudes that make an innovation oriented organization a “wikible” workplace or – in other words – a workplace where Wiki really works in an effective way?
  • Is possible to audit these attitudes in order to furnish a tool to support management in the roll out phase of the wiki adoption in an Organization?

Starting with tomorrow - for eight days – I’ll describe each of the cultural key drivers, and furnish the relative questions of the Wikibility of Innovation Workplaces Audit (WIOWA) that I propose into my work.

Enjoy to test it in your organization and let me know your opinions.
