Abstract

'Knowledge Management' (KM) is a promising business management concept that is gaining wide acceptance and is being implemented in various sectors to achieve improved level of performance and competence. Project management competence is one of the most significant criteria upon which the project performance is dependent on. Further, effective project management relies on the project manager’s competency and authority. Construction Project Managers (CPManagers) play a key role in the success of a construction project. Assessment and improvement of the Skill, Knowledge, and Competency (SKC) levels of CPManagers will be valuable to CPManagers as well as the organisation. Selection and allocation of suitable CPManagers to projects is a challenging issue. An ontology-based KM framework for performance improvement of CPManagers has been proposed. Ontology of SKC of CPManagers, Construction Projects, and KM Tools constitute the knowledge component. Various elements of competence that are required for CPManagers have been identified.
