Knowledge Management A Project Management Approach

The unique nature of project management makes collaboration very essential for project success. Knowledge management is a veritable tool for leveraging collaboration and engagement. This book is a survey of knowledge management programs and practices in 300 project management organizations and 5 selected case studies. In this book, the concepts of project success, innovation, operational efficiency, completion times, and generation of new knowledge are examined in detail with the aim of determining the role knowledge management plays in leveraging these for project advantage. Knowledge management practitioners, project managers, performance managers and CEOs will find this book very strategic in their quest to obtain results and balance in the use of intellectual capital and other resources. Most Knowledge Management writings have only explored ethnographic and other qualitative dimensions. Very few authors have explored the quantitative aspects of knowledge management in order to provide empirical evidence relating to the business justification for knowledge management. This book has combined both the quantitative and qualitative paradigms to explore the nature of knowledge management and its practical applications in project scenarios.
