Needed: A Company to be a Case Study on Web 2.0

Jim and I met earlier this year. He is doing his doctoral dissertation by creating a case study examining the use of wikis and podcasts for training and performance improvement within an organization. The company he was working with changed leadership and decided not to participate in the research. In fact, their commitment to using Web 2.0 tools was in question. (Boo!)
From Jim’s email:
I am looking for help in locating a potential company to participate in a case study. Although I had been targeting both wikis and podcasts, I can easily modify my research to focus on one or both of these tools. The key is, I need to find an organization that is using these tools in a collaborative nature, and not just as a content management system.
As I said, this is case study research. The results of my research will be published. But I am wiling to work with the company that participates to package the findings in a way that may be helpful to them. Further, I will work with the subject company to finalize details regarding confidentiality and protection of proprietary systems, processes, and services and products.

I am responsible for creating all of the relevant training materials for our agency’s implementation of SharePoint. My conceptual view of this is to use all of the social learning tools available to me, including blogs, wikis, podcasts, and screencasts. I have a graphical representation of what I THINK would work, but as I am a newcomer to this ’sport’ I am not sure if I am too far out on a limb or not. I would love to chat with you about whether this would be a project you would be willing to tackle.
