Join us for a brown bag lunch conversation with Dr. Christian Wagner and Ross Mayfield.
Companies are engaging wikis to create customer communities and managing customer relationships, usually to capture customer ideas for new products and services or to provide support for existing ones. Creating customer facing wikis can be challenging and easily results in failure or only marginal success. Reviewing several cases of customer facing wikis, the presentation draws conclusions about success and failure factors in the implementation of customer facing wikis.
Christian Wagner is Professor of Information Systems at City University's Information Systems Department. He received his Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of British Columbia in 1989. Thereafter he spent seven years as a faculty member at the University of Southern California, before joining City University in January 1996. Wagner specializes in the development and study of decision support systems, creativity support, and knowledge management with wikis and weblogs.

Ken's notes on event setup:
Order pizza: call Pizza My Heart, ask to speak to the shift manager. Tell them you want the 6 for the price of 4 deal for $60. Order at least two, preferably three, vegetarian pizzas. Give them the 655 High Street address which is in their computer. Target delivery for no earlier than 6:30 PM.
Buy beer and ice: walk or drive down to Whole Foods and buy five or six 6-packs of premium beer (GB, Fat Tire, etc) from the cold case and some bags of ice (4?) If you walk you can use a shopping cart to haul back to ST but should return it eventually. Ice one blue bucket full of beer and one of water/sodas. Put the rest in the fridge.
Be sure someone is charged with locking up the place. If that person does not have a key, lock the two front doors and have them go out the back door and double check that it is closed and locked from the outside - it sticks.
