Knowledge management implementation strategies in project-teams

In the global world, where even the people who develop the current technology cannot keep up with the speed of technology, managing information and knowledge is too important to be put aside. Organizations have to develop various strategies to use the information they have and to manage it correctly, as well as to obtain the information. For this reason, the concept of knowledge management is one of the most researched and discussed topics recently. The aim of this study is to reveal the knowledge management implementation strategies in non-profit project teams. Another aim is to research the knowledge management implementation strategies and experiences of teachers working as project managers in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in their own project teams, and to present them to the use of project managers in future studies. Qualitative methods were used in the study. Within the scope of the research, data were collected by using the interview technique with nine project managers working in schools affiliated to the Elazig Provincial Directorate of National Education, and by using the focus group interview technique with the Research and Development office employees. When the data obtained were evaluated, it was seen that effective communication and active use of technology came to the fore in all phases of the implementation of knowledge management practice strategies. It has been observed that the project teams created an intra-organizational communication and knowledge sharing environment with training and development activities for their own teams, also the correct and effective distribution and use of knowledge within the organization was ensured through information meetings.
