How do you get your staff to keep themself up-to-date and aware of a constantly-moving business environment?? How do employees sitting in different time zones collaborate with each other??

Wikis are a perfect solutions to increase collaboration.

Fast Company profiles Disney Executive Vice President of Digital Media Albert Cheng, and how a wiki is at the center of his 20 month old digital media department’s reinvention of TV distribution.

Corporate wikis have become an online means for companies to keep track of what’s going on internally.The Wiki allows Disney employees to review new social- networking applications, compare vendors, and share their latest projects.

Disney’s case reflect how a wiki can be the information, collaboration, and social hub of a group (133,000 employees around the world). Creating a directory of staff profiles helps people hone their wiki editing skills, tell others about themselves, and become more deeply connected to the rest of the community on the wiki.

Forbes.com in late April debuted a beta version of Corporate Org Chart Wiki. The collaborative Web application invites people to contribute what they know about company organizational charts. Since its launch, the wiki has accumulated about 8,500 company charts with employee data.

Wikis have two main benefits:

  1. They boost group productivity and also act as a business knowledge base where information is logged and easily accessible.
  2. The constantly-changing nature of wiki means it may never be completely finished, but it does remain up-to-date.

Wikis, along with other content technologies that enable quick content aggregation from a multitude of sources, are allowing both individuals and institutions to collaborate on custom content collections more easily than ever before.
