I've published a fairly detailed slide presentation of it on my blog over here - http://www.theworkplaceblog.com/2007/09/evolving_our_wiki_a_presentati.html Best, Shiv Singh Bill, I think you’ll enjoy learning about our enterprise wiki which has won several awards.

Go with blogware or wikis and save yourself a ton of money both in outlay, project implementation and loss of productivity from poor useability and clunky design.

The opportunity to make KM a byproduct of work was what got me excited about web 2.0 when I first encountered it in 2004. Bill Stewart – Thanks for your comments.

"They needed a system where editing is immediate and very simple. It was more important to let people add content rather than worrying about what they shouldn’t do." So true - it's good to hear that an organization is concentrating on the positive and taking an optimistic approach instead of wringing its hands over thoughts of bad things happening.

Great point - true knowledge management happens when people are able to do it without fighting with the technology and seeing it as a separate activity. It scares me to think of how many organizations have ended up treating it as an after-the-fact burden b/c the tools haven't made it easy. Bill,
