Strengthen Programme Management through Knowledge Management

Knowledge exchange within and between programmes will contribute to the efficiency and efficacy of individual programme activities. Furthermore, the impact of the programme as a whole will benefit from conscious attention to the quality, access to and sharing of knowledge. DNV-CIBIT helps to make knowledge sharing and dissemination happen, working together with programme managers and programme management offices.

Do you recognise the following?

Programmes are always under scrutiny (often made explicit in external evaluations): is the programme delivering value to its stakeholders? Are the programme activities aligned with the overall objectives and are they organised to ensure maximum cohesion? Knowledge management practices can help programmes to become more effective in:
  • Realising cross-programme knowledge sharing events, ensuring that peers help each other and the latest insights are being fed into the next cycle of activities;
  • Learning lessons from programme activities, in order to prevent later mistakes and to speed up development;
  • Making knowledge developed accessible throughout the entire programme and the outside world through web-based knowledge repositories.

Our support

We can help you, as a consultant, project lead or trainer to:
  • Create ‘knowledge-friendly’ terms and conditions for subsidy programmes;
  • Map opportunities for sharing knowledge within your programme;
  • Mobilise internal and external expertise for the benefit of your programme;
  • Debrief project teams and dissemination of lessons learned;
  • Organise peer assists across your programme;
  • Strengthen the dissemination of knowledge to external stakeholders;
  • Evaluate the efficacy of your current knowledge management activities.

Learning in, between and from projects

A lot of knowledge is developed when professionals work together in projects. But how can you consider the available knowledge when developing projects? What does this mean for the managing of your project and the members of your project team? How can you prevent that different projects don’t use each other’s knowledge? How can you facilitate the exploitation of knowledge and its validation, its codification, and made available for future projects? During this course all of these questions will be treated.

Learning goals
  • Good Insight into the importance of using existing knowledge in projects.
  • Insight into the possible obstacles of implementing learning in projects.
  • Insight into the available methods to use existing knowledge.
  • Experience in using different evaluation methods, learning methods and knowledge transfer methods that are suitable for your context.
  • Insight into different implementation strategies, with special focus on the competencies of the project members and knowledge managers.

This three-day course is aimed at knowledge managers, project managers; programme managers and quality managers that want to raise the effectiveness and quality of their project organisation.

Our clients, including the Dutch Higher Education Innovation programme IT and Education, The NovemSenter EET programme, the Dordrecht City Council innovation programme, Sara Lee/DE, AGI, Ministerie van Volksgezondheid Welzijn & Sport, Ministerie van Verkeer & Waterstaat (DGL), the InAxis programme for innovation in public management and the European Commission (by means of the K2 measure for knowledge sharing in the technology-enhanced learning programme) have realised that their programme management activities can be strengthened by conscious attention for knowledge management. We have helped them to create knowledge infrastructures that allow programme members to quickly access available knowledge, we have designed and facilitated large scale cross programme sharing events and have debriefed many teams and individuals so their knowledge has become available to their peers.
