A year and a half ago when I was researching how to start a wiki and looking for best practices in wikis .... there was little information out there about it. So I decided to reach out to our internal consultant and found out there were already six wikis within the BearingPoint organization, all built to do collaboration for various teams!


I once read that 90% of collaboration happens in email .... which is a shame since that really isn't collaboration .... it's almost the opposite of collaboration! The goal of collaboration is to include as many people to get the best thinking on any given issue.
If you are thinking of starting a wiki or working on launching on you need to hear what Eugene Lee the CEO of SocialText has to say about wikis, collaboration and enterprise 2.0.
