Knowledge Management In Projects

Knowledge Management In Projects – An Overview - by Eric D. Brown

I’m continuing my research into Knowledge Management practices and principles within the project world.   Currently still in literature review mode and hope to have the majority of this review done by mid-year. I put together a presentation on what I’ve learned so far…hope you enjoy it.

I hate consultants

'I hate consultants' by Eric D. Brown - Information Technology, Leadership, The New CIO

When I heard those words spill out of my lunch companion’s mouth as soon as we sat down, I knew it would be a long lunch meeting.

Some background When I was an independent consultant I spent a lot of time in business development mode.  Lots of time going to networking events and meeting new people.  I enjoyed that (and should be doing it now even too)…but some of the people you meet while out and about can be very surprising.

Take “John” (name changed) as an example.

Cultural impacts on project management – Anglo-Saxons versus the Spanish.

By Phil Thistlethwaite - The Spanish and the Anglo-Saxons are both different and similar - armadas, monarchy, football, empires, you name it. They also both 'do' project management.

I have worked extensively with European stakeholders over the past 12 years, and been fortunate enough to have managed large-scale change programmes on Asia-Pacific, European and global scales.
