Using Knowledge Management for Effective Project Management

Presented by Dr. Ginger Levin, Consultant and Lecturer

This webinar will be available for viewing on 13 December, 2007

The complexities and challenges of today's environment mean that knowledge is more than ever viewed as a strategic asset. As a result, project management (PM) and knowledge management (KM) are both a necessity to lead to an improved competitive advantage for each organization.

There are many commonalities between the two, and in fact, it can be argued that PM is a part of KM, or KM is a part of PM. Both are important for overall organizational success, as well as for program and project success. PM practices can facilitate the attention and dedication to KM. KM practices can enhance overall PM success in terms of fulfilling both client and team goals. With KM embedded into PM, the success rate of projects, in terms of both the client and the team, can only improve.

This presentation discusses why PM is important to KM, describes a knowledge management methodology for project management, and presents guidelines to implement KM in the organization.
