“…The study (Currie, 2003;Kamara et al, 2002;Egbu, 2004;Christensen and Bang, 2003;Liebowitz and Megbolugbe, 2003;Snider and Nissen, 2003) did not base empirical work in knowledge management or organizational learning theories. Instead, the study tended to be descriptive and applied in nature.…”

“…Wenger (1999) described CoPs as structures that enable peer-to-peer learning among practitioners. Although a stream of research exists on CoPs in project management, this body of work also tended to be descriptive (Kamara et al, 2002;Egbu, 2004;Liebowitz and Megbolugbe, 2003;Snider and Nissen, 2003;Gongla and Rizzuto, 2001;Garrety et al, 2004;Lesser and Storck, 2001;Kransdorff and Williams, 1999). The project management field presented a CoP as a tangible construct at the expense of its quite significant intrinsic value that exists in the workplace learning and social learning contexts.…”

Problem statement: When we fail to learn from our own mistakes or those of others, we tend to repeat the mistakes. This study discusses lessons learned as important ways of gathering and sharing both formal and informal project knowledge. Approach: The study presents findings of three studies from a research program on lessons learned. The first study is a content analysis of two sets of conference proceedings. The second study is a case study from the energy sector on lessons learned. The final study is a content analysis of the Project Management Body of Knowledge ® Guide. Results: The conference proceedings study indicated that the topic of lessons learned was under represented within the conference proceedings. This was in keeping with the literature review that the topic of lessons learned is emerging. The energy sector study shed light on the lessons learned process, best practices and challenges. The content analysis of the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide ® showed that the guide defines lessons learned narrowly, primarily as a set of administrative, documented outputs pertaining mainly to the closeout phase. This was also evident in the guide's commodification of lessons learned (and related terms). Conclusion/Recommendations: This study contributes to the fields of project management, knowledge management and workplace learning. Academics and practitioners use various terms to refer to lessons learned. Negative events often compel companies to add lessons learned practices to their project management processes. In order to conduct effective lessons learned, there has to be management support, the right stakeholders should be involved and knowledge should be shared in both codified and uncodified ways. Lessons learned are processes that involve formal and informal learning. Effective lessons learned can be embedded into a company's practices, especially through informal learning and sharing practices, such as through Communities of Practice and by applying principles from workplace learning, such as situated learning theory.

“…It is subject to our interpretation of KM concepts drawn from philosophy and the information, cognitive, social sciences. As observed by Liebowitz and Megbolugbe (2003) converting data into actionable information or useful knowledge in organisations is not a simple, mechanistic process. It is dependent on heuristic rules and the broader ontologies or worldviews of key actors within the system (Liebowitz & Megbolugbe, 2003, p. 189).The Strategic Knowledge Management (SKM) framework presented in this paper ( Figure 1) acknowledges this complexity while outlining key elements and broad interrelationships, which subject to further empirical investigation may advance KM and DM practice.…”

Abstract-In today's globally interconnected economyThis paper aims to explore the opportunities and benefits arising from the application of a strategic KM and Data Mining framework within the local operations of large domestic or multinational mining companies, located in Western Australia (WA). The paper presents a high level conceptual framework for integrating so called hard, ICT and soft, human systems representing the explicit and tacit knowledge embedded within broader networks of mining activity. This Strategic Knowledge Management (SKM) framework is presented as a novel first step towards improving organisational performance and realisation of the human and technological capability captured in organisational networks. The SKM framework represents a unique combination of concepts and constructs from the Strategy, Knowledge Management, Information Systems, and Data Mining literatures. It was generated from the Stage 1-Literature and industry documentation review of a two stage exploratory study. Stage 2 will comprise a quantitative case based research approach employing clearly defined metrics to describe and compare SKM activity in designated mining companies.

Abstract. Sustainable management of water resources is multidimensional and complex process often requires the incorporation of efforts of many impacts and responsibilities of concerning institutions. This research work is devoted for developing of web service based Water Resource Management Information System (WRMIS). The WRMIS has been developed in accordance with the European Union Water Framework Directive and EIONET ReportNet infrastructure requirements to environmental water sector reporting by EU member states. It is realised as a web portal where users can receive information on environmental water sector, combining data from the participating data warehouses and giving an opportunity to extract useful information by the available functions and tools. The WRMIS portal allows the access to information of data warehouses on the surface water quality in rivers and lakes, ground water, and point sources (emissions). A detailed description of the main components of the Water Resource Management Information System is given, the advantages of Web Service-based solution are presented, and the direction of a further WRMIS development in the future is shown. Keywords: environmental information system, water resource management, sustainable water recourse usage.
