Knowledge Management Framework for Early Phases in TOGAF-based Enterprise ArchitectureConsulting firms in enterprise architecture that develop projects through the TOGAF framework may generate valuable knowledge from project to project. However, for this knowledge to create value, it must be supported by an effective ability to capture, store and reuse it. This paper proposes a knowledge management framework focused on TOGAF initial phases to enable reusing lessons from previous projects. Through a specific meta-model, it offers “ways of” thinking, working, supporting, controlling and modelling this process. As a result, we present some steps to develop knowledge management in TOGAF-based enterprise architecture projects through a case study in a consulting firm.

Coordination Problems in Knowledge Transfer: A Case Study of Inter-Organizational ProjectsWhen multiple organizations are involved in a heritage management project, the coordination of actions is complex and can affect the knowledge transfer process. This paper contributes a systematic and empirical study of the dynamics of coordination activities inside a knowledge transfer process in heritage management activities. Using the information-processing view of coordination, we explore the following question: what kinds of coordination issues affect effective coordination of knowledge transfer in inter-organizational projects? The discussion is supported by a case study in the architectural heritage domain. We reveal that there are many coordination issues that affect the mutual understanding between actors, limiting information exchange and knowledge transfer. These issues uncover a gap between the conception and use of ICTs that support coordination, and a lack of understanding about how ICT usage affects the knowledge transfer process. Thus, a socio-material perspective about relationship between people and coordination technologies could improve knowledge transfer performance.
