Projects represent an exceptional opportunity to test an organization’s existing knowledge and to generate new insights that can be reused within the same project or in future initiatives.
Too often, however, the “knowledge” dimension is underestimated or poorly managed, mainly due to the lack of a clear strategy encompassing mandate, objectives, budget, techniques, processes, and roles.

In recent years, several efforts have been made to better address the role of knowledge within projects. Among these, the PMBOK® – Project Management Body of Knowledge, the world’s most widely adopted project management standard, for the first time included a specific process dedicated to “Managing Project Knowledge.”
Nevertheless, there is still a long way to go before knowledge management gains the full recognition it deserves within the broader framework of project management.

Programme

• Project knowledge: definition and types
• The iceberg of knowledge
• The seven principles of knowledge management applied to project management
• Roles and responsibilities in project knowledge management
• KW – Knowledge Workers: definition, profile, and examples in project contexts
• The five professional challenges of Knowledge Workers and strategies for their development
• The concept of “Ba”: creating an environment that fosters the exchange of tacit knowledge among KWs

The “Knowledge in Projects” event aims to:

• provide an essential knowledge management glossary applicable to project management;
• analyze key project management phases where knowledge acts as an enabling factor;
• highlight the central role of Knowledge Workers (KWs) as a critical success factor in complex and innovative projects.
