Building Project-Based Learning Organizations: 10 Mechanisms Influencing Project Learning

Featuring Anna Wiewiora PMI Queensland Australia Chapter, and Ashley Forsyth - November 6, 2018

Overview

Project learning is a vital prerequisite for innovation as it directly contributes to project and organizational capability development. As more organizations become project-based, there is an emergent need to understand how these organizations can overcome challenges of disruptive learning cycles caused by project temporality and employee mobility. Project learning occurs on the individual, team, and organizational level. Individual learning happens through intuiting and interpreting, learning by doing, experiencing using metaphors and cognitive maps. Team learning occurs through the integration of individual learnings, which result in shared understanding and mutual adjustment of mental models.
