wikis http://flickr.com/photos/barryj/ Chris Thorpe | Brando Social | Winning with Social Media

But what are the tangible benefits? With the wiki, the most interesting results have been seen in day-to-day changes to the way people do business, and that have a direct effect on productivity.Once users started hosting meeting agendas on the wiki, they began to see a direct benefit in terms of productivity. The agenda was always up to date and people were much more likely to make dynamic changes to it. This had happened with email but the difference with wikis was clear to all. Why? The key is inclusion. Junior employees are more confident of making changes and voicing their opinions. The wiki is a collaboration and so an individual was less intimidated by adding to that than by emailing directly to superiors. >JP Rangaswami http://www.flickr.com/photos/docsearls/ Chris Thorpe | Brando Social | Winning with Social Media
