Taking Collaboration To The Next Level: Creating Wikis And Understanding How They Can Work Best In Your Organization

If governments are to ensure their relevance and authority, they must move quickly to meet rising expectations for openness, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency in the public sector. Today, many governments are able to utilize wikis despite their lack of priority.

Government agencies are making a dramatic effort to develop approaches and systems that work for them in their communication strategies and need to know how social media can be embraced by their organization to work in open shared communities. This is Facebook for the Enterprise and enables tagging functions, groups to form, etc.

In this interactive session, you will learn how:
  • Wikis allow for various agencies in the government to collaborate
  • People can collaborate across geographical barriers, organizational structures and time differences
  • To create a fully functional wiki page, while emphasizing the particular aspects and value of cross collaboration

  • What is your reach?
  • What impact did your outreach have?

This session will introduce several useful measurement tools and draw on lessons from the private sector and nonprofit sector to offer you ideas and tools for measuring the impact of your outreach using social media and Web 2.0 tools.
