In some of my interviews, I've been drawn to asking what types of tools or strategies do the particular companies utilize for collaborative purposes. It strikes me as essential for even small agency types to think and work towards creating efficiency around internal lines of communication. I'm sure most everyone would agree, but not everyone seems to put it very high on the priority scale. My answers have ranged widely, and even included the use of a shared file server (this is data storage, not a communication strategy). Strike you as odd too?
As for solutions, Basecamp has been know as an excellent application for project management and project oriented discussion. Also, a new application Remindo looks to be more of a social option for companies to substitute for an intranet. Both truly allow for easy group access to a central knowledge share. Every company small or large could stand to evaluate such an option if they haven't, especially smaller companies where information and learning can often be lost in the day to day.
