Enterprise Wiki Faux Pas

February 3, 2009

Take a look at this PC World article “Three Myths of the Enterprise Wiki” here. Unlike some of the azure chip consultants who come up with baloney, Janus Boye and his team produce Kobe beef. I don’t want to spoil your fun by summarizing the write up. I can, however, point out the comment that I found most suggestive:

“People often look to Wikipedia as a free form where everyone is contributing, and why could we not do the same with our organization?,” she said, having observed wikis entering the scene to compensate for an intranet that has fallen to the wayside. But, she said, technology alone won’t resolve that issue.

Spot on. Technology does not solve problems and sit happily in the shade. Technology spawns more challenges. Skip the azure chip consultants in the US and head to Denmark. For more info about the Boye organization, click here.
