Christoph Schmaltz wrote this post on the Headshift blog today, which includes some slides from the UK’s Confluence User Group.

Last week Headshift and Adaptivist hosted this year’s first Confluence User Group. The organisations attending were as varied as the topics discussed. There was a lot of interest around the strategic use of Confluence (especially along enterprise legacy systems), user adoption, community management but also more technical topics like clustering, plugin development and others. Most organisations have been using Confluence for more than a year now. Some of them have gone through the initial excitement stage and are now in the process of establishing Confluence as a valuable business tool.

We covered a lot of the topics described above in presentations, case studies, panels and Q&A sessions.

Get in touch if you like to discuss any Confluence related challenges or are looking at taking a broader approach to achieving your business objectives using social tools.

Below you can find slides from three presentations that were given in the business track of the event:

James Dellow and Anne Bartlett-Bragg from Headshift in Australia recently delivered a webinar on Designing for Adpotion, and it’s now up on Atlassian.tv and included below. The slides themselves are also available on SlideShare.

We invited people to ask questions during the Webinar and here are some pointers to further reading:

Mark Morrell describes how BT has used a different coloured global navigation bar to help users distinguish between published corporate content and user generated content on the intranet;
You can read more about the Freshfields example here and also Lee Bryant’s and Ruth Ward’s (of Allen & Overy) slides from their Allen & Overy case study presentation at the 2007 Perfect Information Conference;
There are also more Confluence case studies here and I also recommend reading about Clifford Chance’s experiences with Confluence.

If you have a more technical orientated question of the type that was covered at last month’s Confluence User Group meeting in London, please let us know and we can put you in contact with one of our brilliant Confluence ninjas. And of course if you have any other questions or comments, please add them below.
