WikiSym 2008 Opens; New WikiFest Speaker Announcement

Bem-vindo! Welcome to WikiSym! If you are here in Porto, I’m looking forward to seeing you in the WikiFest symposium on Wednesday from 1:30-5:00 (13:30-17:00). We have seven distinguished speakers who will show how organizations like IBM, Boeing, University of Helsinki, //Seibert/Media, and University of Michigan have introduced and grown enterprise wiki use for collaboration, knowledge management, and project mnagement, and more.

In addition to the slate of speakers already announced, there’s one new addition. Holger Junghanns will join WikiFest to discuss enterprise wiki adoption at SAP. Here’s more information about Holger’s talk:

Holger will share his experience of implementing a wiki within the Customer Relationship Management organization of SAP AG. The goal of this project was to promote knowledge transfer among the different teams involved in the development process of SAP’s CRM application. Within a six month timeframe, the project team introduced a wiki as a central point of access for internal knowledge transfer and collaboration within the CRM organization.

At the end of the symposium, all speakers will gather for a panel discussion and joint Q&A. If you’re looking to successfully catalyze enterprise wiki use in your organization, WikiFest will give you the best advice, examples, best practices, and cautions as you get started. If your organization’s wiki adoption is already underway, come learn new ways you can use the wiki, see how to keep employees motivated and excited by the wiki, and share your own experiences during the panel discussion and Q&A. I look forward to seeing you there!

  1. Hi Stewart!

    Just the fact that you replied my post (http://jenefeldt.se/2008/09/08/wikisym2008/) is a bit fantastic. Since it’s in SWEDISH! Google translate?

    About my thesis. I will take you on your word, and I will contact you for literature or other tips.

    Rock on!

    Johan
