What was achieved at DrKW?
Following up on the Enterprise 2.0 discussion I found this great comment (the third comment) by Sean Park to McAfee’s article mentioned in my previous post. To quote a bit from the comment:
The ‘too many things to do’ is an energy barrier that needs to be overcome. Not always easy, but what makes me very optimistic is that when you do breach that inertia, these tools really are as easy to use as it ‘says on the box.’ For anyone. Not just techno-geeks, not just Generation M. And the energy barrier declines over time as a tipping point is reached…indeed I think we are getting close at DrKW and in some business lines are already past it. And the benefits to an information worker – once they’ve tried it – are so immediate and compelling that it becomes natural and part of the furniture very quickly: I honestly can’t conceive of going back to working without the wiki. And for all intents and purposes , wide adoption only began 6-7 months ago!
Hey wait a minute, Mr. Park seems to have insight knowledge on this. Let’s see if I can contact him, because I am very eager to learn from the DrKW case (emailing…).
What I already did was purchase a copy of the Harvard Business School Case Study: Wikis at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.
At first glance (still reading) the study looks very interesting, both in terms of offering insight in what DrKW did, as well as in the Socialtext wiki software that was used.
