Evolutionary Learning in Strategy-Project Systems

WHAT DOES A SUCCESSFUL KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PRACTITIONER DO?Evolutionary Learning in Strategy-Project Systems explores the gap between the theory and practice of knowledge management in organizations and analyzes how learning happens and how knowledge is created. The authors take a practitioner-driven approach, one that unites organizational strategy with the learning of organizational lessons-the kind of knowledge management that enhances project performance and ultimately business success.Through a survey of the literature and an analysis of original case-study research, Evolutionary Learning in Strategy-Project Systems develops a model of learning capability that proceeds exactly as its title implies, not as a line, but as a cycle-from codifying individual knowledge and putting it into practice within a context that values social relationships and networks. The conclusions offered in this book build on the rethinking of project management literature in today's world-creating a strategy-project learning model that not only improves current knowledge capabilities, but also develops new ones.
