Grow Your Wiki

Grow Your Wiki: slides from DocTrain West 2008

I believe you can love what you do at work. When I look at the sore subjects of work - things like email overload, poor, unfocused meetings, and the confusion & misunderstandings that drag down projects - I see opportunity. I see a grand opportunity to take a step back, get a clear perspective on what really matters, and fix these things so that work can become meaningful and fulfilling.

A wiki is just part of this. I’m so enthusiastic about this tool because it represents so much more than the empty, superficial fixes of the past. It’s the result of a radical rethinking of how people interact, share, and build knowledge, and because of that it can act as the platform for significant but sensitive change that doesn’t upset the proverbial apple cart but instead makes sure the apples are presented in the best way possible so the apple cart will be a huge success.

Ok, here are the slides. These are the slides I use in public presentations, like the one last Wednesday at DocTrain West, and also the starting point I use in my consulting and advising relationships to frame an understanding of what a wiki is and how it benefits the people who use it:

    Great presentation Stewart. Really subscribes to the Presentation Zen concept that Garr Reynolds subscribes to. Could I ask you a small question? What font do you use in the presentation as I really like it.
