YMCA SAM 2.0 Wiki - Our Collaborative Platform

The SAM 2.0 Collaboration Wiki helps centres and associations transform their collaboration and communication processes.

General Introduction To WikisWikis, weblogs and social media platforms proved to be very successful on the web, including Wikipedia.com, Facebook.com, MySpace.com and more. They formed participative environments, allowing anybody to easily create, share and modify content with very limited technical expertise. Web-2.0 platforms steadily lowered the barrier to share knowledge on the web and are now rich sources for knowledge acquisition. The ability of Web 2.0 applications, most notably wikis and weblogs, supporting both organization knowledge and their practices, had been awarded with the term Enterprise 2.0. Wikis illustrate lightweight web based authoring tools supporting the collaborative creation of content in the enterprise.

Our SAM 2.0 Collaboration PlatformThe SAM 2.0 Confluence Enterprise Wiki provides...an easy and secure, web-based, content creation and management platform designed to be used anywhere, any time. The system empowers contributors to create attractive documents with rich content including images, links, media and more. With Instant publishing out goes the single gatekeeper and in grows a thriving collaborative community. Each workspace has its own designated editor(s) and its own security settings. Fine-grained, flexible permission schemes guarantee that only the right people can view, contribute or publish content. Our Platform allows administrators to manage day-to-day operations by enabling users to track, organize and manage their activities, while providing one central location to manage intellectual assets. The solution includes social collaboration tools with wikis, blogs and an informational dashboard that displays what team members are working on and contributing to. As a result, team members can easily find relevant content, communicate with experts, look at past or similar projects, and keep on top of any relevant content changes.The idea is that there can exist a simple, easy-to-navigate and easy-to-participate in, on-line portal that gives a wide variety of audiences (SAM 2.0 Administrators, Managers, Staff, Facilitators and Volunteers etc.) the opportunity to view, share, create or find information related to their particular level of interest.Our platform organizes these disparate groups into logical communities of interest, and provides snapshot views of happenings across a host of activities. Users have the ability to create new content, establish a simple profile, and engage in collaborative discussions or sharing through page creation, blogs and sharing.For the busy CEO, VP and Manager?Our community of practice serves as a collaborative news portal--- giving thumbnails and snapshots of activity across the the organizations spectrum. (a single website to useto know whats going on without having to become mired in the details)For the Administrator or Facilitator?Our network of networks is a way to connect and collaborate with other department locations and personnel---and to share success stories and deeper program information by utilizing links to deeper information housed on the wiki and other sources.For the SAM 2.0 Staff and Volunteer?With shared leadership knowledge production and transfer we serve as a sort of social network revolving specifically around the organizations programs, activities and success stories nationwide. As members we definitely see that we are not alone in our endeavours!
