The first presentation I did about wikis is here.
It’s a basic primer, and covers:
- What are the attributes of a wiki?
- How do wikis differ from other commonly used communication and collaboration tools?
- What kind of problems can a wiki solve? What are its uses?
- What are examples of these use cases? (with screenshots)
- How can you build a successful wiki?
The presentation is primarily images, not bullet points. A lot of the content is in what I said but the images still provide an introduction. The examples are nonprofits but most of the information applies equally well to for profits.
In the presentation, I incorporated a lot of ideas that Michael Idinopulos shares in his succinct, thoughtful blog, Transparent Office. Some of his most useful thoughts when you are starting your wiki are these:
Creating a Welcoming Wiki-On Structuring and Populating Your Wiki With Content
- Structure, populate, review, invite, and garden,
- How much predetermined structure for your collaboration space?
- How to populate your wiki
- Content in a wiki - Not more than one click away
Adoption
- In-the-flow wikis may be more readily adopted than above-the-flow wikis
- Redirecting work to your collaborative workspace
- Predicting wiki adoption
- A collaborative culture is not a precondition for wiki success
Wiki Uses
- 3 best practices on creating a participatory knowledgebase
- Enterprise 2.0 tools as your intranet
- Manage docs with a doc management system, collaborate with your collaboration suite
