Collaborative Wiki in Corporate Consulting

What uses might a collaborative wiki or blog have in your chosen (current or desired) work environment? How would they support learning and/or performance? What would be the design and implementation challenges if management tried to do this? What would be the design and implementation challenges of a user-initiated effort?

My ultimate goal is to be a Corporate Consultant. Corporate consulting is a professional service designed to assist businesses in developing or achieving goals that lead to success and improved performance. My belief is that the backbone of a corporation's success relies on communication and the training of it's employees. In regards to the benefits of a collaborative wiki and a corporation, I think it has become almost a necessity for large corporations. Especially, corporations that require a collaborative element at its cores, such as corporations with several different sites throughout a country or international corporations with various different sites throughout the world. A collaborative wiki provides a reliable and effective tool for interaction and editing of corporate agendas as well as allows for uniform training of a corporation. Wikis also provide corporations with a great tool for knowledge management. As with all new technology, learning how to use the wiki platform for a corporation would be a critical challenge and that is where human resources with corporate training come in to improve the performance of the corporation. The implementation challenges of a user-initiated effort within a large corporation would be first and foremost the challenge of getting others to use the wiki and seamlessly working the wiki into the corporation's goals.
