5 Effective Wiki Uses – my latest article, in Website Magazine

The August issue of Website Magazine is out, and it includes an article I wrote: 5 Effective Wiki Uses and How Companies Benefit From Them. Here’s a brief excerpt:

A wiki can be especially useful for commonly needed information, like FAQ, guidelines, HR or purchasing policies. Editing permissions can be set so those responsible for these policies have the ability to edit them as needed and everyone else can read them. This eliminates the need to distribute paper copies of policies each time a change is made. Instead, the HR department can simply send an email announcing changes, with a link to the full policy page on the wiki.

Eliminating all that paper is also a good way to save money, fuel & shipping expenses, and do something to ease your organization’s impact on the environment.

  1. Stewart, this article is proving to be a great resource for me. I have been trying for a while to drive wiki adoption within my organization and lately I’ve gotten some interest!

    I hope to use this list as a blueprint for expanding the wiki to additional use cases beyond our current project.

    Thanks!
