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 6 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.
