Knowledge management as a holistic tool for superior project management

The challenges encountered in project-based organisations have been addressed by many strategies. This paper intends to provide an empirical insight of knowledge and its application within project environs. This would instigate learning and innovation within Knowledge Management (KM) in project-based organisations. Based on two case studies, a simple understanding of knowledge, Knowledge Creation (KC) and its management are proposed. It further underlines the humanistic core of KM and a framework that can be utilised to align knowledge paths. Finally, the paper concludes with suggestions and recommendations for future research on KM in the realm of project management.
