The APM Knowledge SIG held their AGM event on Thursday 25th June in London.
Andy Wall presented a case study entitled "If we all knew what we all know - a systematic approach to sharing knowledge across projects".
As pressure increases to deliver projects on time, on budget and to meet ever exacting standards it’s never been a more important to leverage what we already know.
On an individual basis it can be difficult to remember and apply everything we know or we’ve ever learned, so imagine multiplying that problem across a large organisation undertaking thousands of projects.
Drawing on the experience of the last 5 year Capital Program (AMP5) this presentation will outline the systematic approach being developed by United Utilities to support the re-use of knowledge across projects that will deliver benefits across the whole asset lifecycle.
