许多组织未能捕捉和传播从特定项目中学到的东西,从而“重新发明了轮子”。无法利用从项目中学到的知识,对项目形式作为一种组织工作方式的日益流行产生了令人担忧的影响。本章确定了项目工作作为一种学习来源所扮演的角色,它出现在实践社区的旁边、内部,有时甚至是反对的。通过对三个在学习的产生、获取和传播方面产生了截然不同的结果的项目的简要案例研究,探索了这一分析产生的理论框架。这使我们能够就影响项目作为组织内学习来源的作用的因素以及将这种学习作为组织资源加以利用的尝试的影响得出一些结论。
Many organizations 're-invent the wheel' by failing to capture and spread what has been learned from particular projects. This inability to exploit the learning from projects has worrying implications for the growing popularity of the project form as a way of organizing work. This chapter identifies the role which project work plays as a source of learning which emerges alongside, within, and sometimes against, communities of practice. The theoretical framework produced by this analysis is explored through brief case-study descriptions of three projects which produced very different outcomes in terms of the generation, capture and spread of learning. This allows us to derive some conclusions as to the factors influencing the role of projects as a source of learning within organizations, and the implications for attempts to exploit such learning as an organizational resource.
