Knowledge and ignorance in major projects

Summary

Do you take project knowledge for granted? Do you tend to favour explicit, technical knowledge that is easy to collect, over tacit knowledge? What is your organizations attitude to ignorance and how do you deal with the issue of knowledge that is suppressed for reasons of taboo, secrecy, privacy or because your organization is in denial? Professor Joanne Roberts of the Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, turns project knowledge management on its head with this highly original look at what organisations don’t know.
