Abstract
The importance of having a solid knowledge background during projects has already been established. However, making this knowledge circulate still causes many problems, that reflect in all aspects of project teamwork and influence the achievement of the set project goals. This paper presents the findings of a nationwide survey of Czech companies analyzing knowledge transfer practices and frequent issues that appear during projects. Based on the identified breakdowns a set of recommendations is designed. The proposed solution builds upon the creation and implementation of an online platform connecting the properties of a communication channel and knowledge brokering system. Apart from general framework, this paper also provides a case study example illustrating how knowledge transfer can become more effective by implementing a project platform along with simple fill in forms and same basic ground rules. In order to achieve the fullest capture of knowledge (both tacit and explicit) as possible the case study platform also demonstrates the impacts of including social networking tools as an internal communication and knowledge brokering channel.
