Knowledge Management Techniques

Every project generates project knowledge that is new knowledge or existing knowledge. However, that project knowledge is not always fully captured, transferred, and disseminated during a project. Due to the nature of projects, this implies a short-term period, limited resources, and multiple procedures. It makes project participants adapt rapidly to new project contexts. There are two mainly obstacles for organizational learning.

Within the Army organizations of today knowledge management plays a huge role in the dissemination of information to the unit and it’s soldiers.

Knowledge management is critical in the construction industry to gain competitive advantage as well as growth. “Knowledge is information that changes something or somebody, either by becoming grounds for actions or by making an individual (or an institution) capable of different or more effective action” (Drucker, 1989). Knowledge Management is particularly important in the construction industry because of the uniqueness of each project, different challenges to every project, tight schedules and limited budgets. Knowledge Management is difficult because knowledge is multi-dimensional. There are two types of knowledge – explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. Explicit knowledge is the one that can be expressed in formal and systematic format and shared in the form of data.

Due to their main job duties, top managers are usually unaware of the challenges that their
