Abstract

In the paper, the importance and challenges of the knowledge transfer between key players involved in managing projects in the company are discussed.

Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify the main routes of knowledge transfer and present an overall solution for effective knowledge transfer from its source to the destination.

Based on that, three knowledge levels are identified and the potential routes of knowledge transfer are presented. The key elements of data repository, incentives and reporting systems are highlighted. Moreover, the project management role in the overall concept is given.

In the conclusion, the PMO, as the central station of project traffic, is underlined. The overall idea of PMO acting as knowledge transfer between different levels is summarised.
