Anumba, P.M. Carrillo ,2002 ). In addition, implementing knowledge management will give the following benefits.
Firstly, it enables knowledge transfer since construction firms need the knowledge to flow across various stages such as requirement capture to design , design to estimating and estimating to actual construction and so on. This is a key aspect because by using knowledge management as a primary asset improves the workflow within the organisation by making it more efficient and continual improvement.
Secondly, by capturing and reusing project knowledge it will effectively trickle down to everyone in the industry and hence reduces the time spent on researching for similar information in the …show more content…
Later, they discussed these issues and had solutions to successfully implement knowledge management throughout the firm. Firstly, they planned use to a Wiki blog to link their data in one place which will enable several communities to share, edit and post . This will be beneficial for Pochin because it will allow referring data in the future. In addition, workers and other engineers will require training.
