How do you grow wiki adoption - 11 July 2007, Sydney, Australia

Looking to spur wiki adoption? Want to grow from 10 users to 100, 1000, or more?

Wikis are the future of enterprise collaboration, so improving adoption and effective use in your organization is key to realizing benefits like reduced email, fewer meetings and less time spent in meetings, and faster knowledge generation. Want to know more about how to achieve this?

Stewart Mader will share strategies he has gathered on wiki adoption from a range of organizations, like Pixar Animation Studios, Johns Hopkins University, Citigroup, and more. He'll discuss Wikipatterns.com and the practice of applying patterns to help coordinate peoples' efforts and guide the growth of content, as well as recognizing and resolving anti-patterns that might otherwise hinder growth, so that your wiki has the best chance of success.

About Stewart

Stewart Mader is Wiki Evangelist for Atlassian Software Systems, and a noted wiki/social software researcher, author, blogger and speaker. Before joining Atlassian, he worked with several universities and a number of other organizations to introduce wikis and grow wiki collaboration across departments, teams, and projects.

In 2007 he launched Wikipatterns.com, a community-built, wiki-based resource for people to share patterns and strategies for increasing wiki collaboration. He also publishes Blog on Wiki Patterns, which is his personal perspective on the uses and benefits of wiki collaboration.

In October 2006, he published Using Wiki in Education, a book containing 10 wide-ranging case studies from teachers using the wiki to transform teaching and engage today's students. This is the first book to focus specifically on the wiki in education and be developed and published using a wiki, so it actively demonstrates the tool in action.
