Hello,

My name is Trenese McNealy, a doctoral student at Walden University. I am creating this discussion board message to invite you to take part in a research study of exploring the knowledge management practice strategies that project management business leaders use to improve knowledge sharing in project-based organizations. I am seeking leaders who fit the criteria to take part in an interview. I am inviting project management business leaders (i.e. project coordinators, project team leaders, project managers, project directors, and project senior managers) who work for project-based organizations within the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia (metro Atlanta) to be in the study. In addition, I am seeking team members who fit the criteria to take part in a focus group. I am inviting project team members (employees) who work for the project management business leaders.

Project management business leaders must have a minimum of 7 years of experience to obtain responses from more experienced individuals. Members of the focus group must have a minimum of 5 years of experience working in their project-based organizations. In regards to the criteria, if you have served in a project management role for 7 years or longer in your career, this role does not have to be at the same organization (ex: 3 years at one organization and 4 years at another). This goes for the project team members as well for 5 years. All participants and their organizations will remain confidential throughout this research study. To maintain the privacy of the interviews, the interview settings for the project management business leaders will occur at an offsite location such as a library conference room or through Skype to give participants an opportunity to speak about their knowledge management and knowledge sharing experiences. The interview setting for the focus group will occur within an off-site conference room in metro Atlanta, Georgia. The focus group will occur in a prescheduled in-person group interview for participants who work for the project management business leaders.

If you would like to participate in this study and meet the above criteria, please reply to this discussion or email me at [email protected], and I will send you the informed consent form to review and sign, along with a copy of the interview questions to review in advance. All Project Managers' interviews will occur between February 13, 2017 - February 25, 2017 via Skype/phone. Interviews can occur between 8:00PM - 9:00PM Monday – Friday, 12:00N – 6:00PM Saturday, or 4:00PM – 6:00PM Sunday. The Project Team Members interview will be held as an in person focus group interview on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 11:00AM.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Trenese McNealy, MBA
