International Forum on Enterprise 2.0: Notes From My Talk

International Forum on Enterprise 2.0 is underway here in Italy, and I presented “Cultivating wikis to change the enterprise and improve the bottom line” this morning.

Luis Suarez posed an excellent running summary of my talk this morning on Twitter. (Luis’ main Twitter account is @elsua; the summary is on his conference specific account @elsuacon). There’s no good tool to display a specific set of tweets so here are a few highlights from his summary:

@slmader JUST did my pitch! Showing the example of how to work agendas through a wiki vs. email! YAY!!! Loving it!
6 degrees of collaboration: 1. Organise, streamline, inform, involve; 2. Virtual extension of your workplace;
3. Adoption takes time; 4. A small, successful pilot builds confidence;
5. Start together - wiki with a purpose; 6. Share as much as possible … This and much over over at ikiw.org @slmader’s blog!
What a GREAT session from Stewart. He did set a nice background for my upcoming pitch & really really worth while going through!
His deck is one of the best I have seen on wiki adoption with some concrete use cases and recommendations on how to get started!

Here’s another summary of all the tweets referencing my talk, created using Summize, a great tool that lets you search for twitter posts by topic, person, hashtag, etc.

Justin Franks said: "Very interesting chronicle of putting a wiki together. I like the metaphor of a barn, as it does give an accurate depiction of the group effort required to build a wiki.
