“…Especially for sustainable project planning, the social sustainability need more support from the commitment of project team in the project life cycle. For construction engineering projects with complex stakeholders, sustainable project planning increases the opportunity for communication and likelihood that each team member understands what other member are proposing to do [67], and then facilitates common understanding and knowledge sharing at project team level [68]. Thus, sustainable project planning also manifests as the efforts made on realizing common commitment and democracy to the goals, values, and behavioral expectations of construction engineering project team.…”

Abstract:With the balanced requirement of environmental, economic and social objectives in projects intensifying, the need for integrating sustainability with project management has drawn attention in both academia and practice. Especially for large complex construction engineering projects, how to achieve sustainability-related objectives in project practices has been endowed with an irreplaceable significance. This study explores the use of project planning practices for integrating sustainability into project management practices of construction engineering projects. Sustainable project planning, as the main instrument of sustainable project management, was put forward and measured to help project managers and practitioners understand what it is and how to carry it out in construction engineering projects. Qualitative methods based on content analysis of interview data of project managers from construction engineering projects, as well as quantitative method on account of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of statistical data, were used to define and assess the construct of sustainable project planning (SPP). Results indicate that SPP as a project planning practice combine the principles of sustainability should consist of three dimensions-managerial control, risk response, and work consensus-to guarantee sustainable construction and predict project success of construction engineering projects. This study shed light on academics and practices concerning the sustainable management of project planning activities and the achievement of sustainable-related objectives in construction engineering projects.

“…These overcome the potentially structural, cognitive, behavioural and political barriers that might exist within an organisation and prevents knowledge sharing and the development of mutual understanding (Gersick and Hackman, 1990;Reich, Gemino and Sauer, 2013;Hogan and Coote, 2013). Todorova and Durisin (2007) emphasise the broader contribution of social integration, extending its importance to beyond connecting potential and realised absorptive capacity.…”

“…For the knowledge to be pulled into the organisation, the knowledge transfer process should be followed from the project up to where the knowledge is again available for the next project [40]. There should be a good balance between letting the organisation know about the new knowledge and knowledge overload.…”

This paper examines mechanisms to use lessons learned on individual projects within an organisation. A Delphi study highlighted the organisation's responsibility for incorporating knowledge from projects into a project management methodology. Knowledge from a project should be transferred through a centralised knowledge management function that should evaluate codified knowledge within the context in which it was generated, determine how the knowledge should be used, and maintain the explicit knowledge database and the knowledge flow process. Based on a literature review, structured interviews, archived data, and a Delphi survey, a framework for transferring knowledge to the organisation is proposed. The framework enables the organisation to motivate and guide knowledge transfer within a methodology that indicates where, when, and how knowledge transfer and use should take place. OPSOMMINGMeganismes om lesse wat op projekte geleer is in 'n organisasie te gebruik, is ondersoek. 'n Delphi studie het die verantwoordelikheid van die organisasie t.o.v. die inkorporering van kennis in 'n projekbestuur-metodologie uitgelig. Kennis vanuit 'n projek behoort via 'n sentrale kennisbestuur-funksie oorgedra te word. Hierdie funksie moet gekodifiseerde kennis evalueer in die konteks waarin dit ontwikkel is, bepaal hoe die kennis gebruik behoort te word, en die databasis asook die kennis vloeiproses instand hou. Op grond van die literatuur, gestruktureerde onderhoude, geargiveerde data en 'n Delphi opname, word 'n raamwerk vir die oordrag van kennis na die organisasie voorgestel. Die raamwerk stel die organisasie in staat om die oordrag van kennis te motiveer en te lei in 'n metodologie wat aandui waar, wanneer en hoe kennisoordrag en benutting behoort plaas te vind.
