Your presentation here and on the June 8 webinar of the benefits of working wikily have move me closer to being an advocate and practitioner. At NPower Seattle we “do” technology and training for nonprofits, and we advocate strongly for starting with a relationship map before bringing in the web or database technology. Thanks for adding to the examples we can use for why a focus on relationships is important.
At ResearchImpacct (http://www.researchimpact.ca) we have been advocates of social media to facilitate many forms of knowledge mobilization. Your article resonated well: trust, transparency, collaboration, openness. We have also encountered the resistance to working differently. Thanks for this article. It is nice to encounter shared experiences.
As a new organization I couldn’t imagine not having the network i have built with Facebook and google apps.
TO be abe to Mobilize and inform my constituents , post calendars, bloggs, and online forms has been awesome in generating nor , member, and community interest.
More non profits and for profits could benefit from the high yield in efficiency and the direct contact and communitcation with local , regional, national , and international stake holders .
Really interesting to see this out in the Social Enterprise space - we’re already working this was in a ‘For More Than Just Profit’ business which connects IT, creative, branding & sales professionals across the world.
We are building the business of trust and transparency - on technology and lifestyle, and we even have a save the world fund. We’re amazed how technology is enabling us to collaborate with highly talented professionals around the world, and provide a fundamental cutting edge above the rest to provide our clients with much better value.
Have you connected with the Bettermeans.org software yet? It’s basically an amazing workflow software which mirrors a wiki’s collaborative open-enterprise ethos. We’ve just adopted it as a primary system.
Anyway, excellent article, I’ll take some of this away with me to continue our development as a ‘wikily’ working collaborative business.
