The debates à la “Wiki vs. KM” or “Taxonomies vs. Folksonomies” are interesting to track for a while. Nevertheless, in an enterprise knowledge management context the question is less “wiki vs. KM” but more “How do we make the best use of the available systems, processes, and approaches to support and drive our business?”. Therefore, wiki as a tool and approach contributes to an even better knowledge management practice in the company. It’s a given.
The Atlassian wiki evangelist Stewart Marder has written wikipatterns, a book that was very well received by the enterprise 2.0 and knowledge management community. Those who don’t want to buy the book (or don’t have an online access to the book e.g. thanks to the SAP SkillSoft partnership) may have a look at the Wikipatterns website or at Stewart’s blog: he is currently publishing a “21 days of wiki adoption” video serial.
