Organizations have invested in knowledge management initiatives to introduce and promote collaboration between employees. The goal of this research is to discover how best to transfer knowledge in the form of narratives between project managers to prevent the repetition of past mistakes. First, theories from education and psychology are critically examined to determine how to support the transfer of knowledge within the project management domain. A research study is then conducted to determine if the hypotheses posed through the examination of theory are applicable to the current context. Using the theoretical foundation, a conceptual model, PACE, is developed as a method of applying the knowledge gained from this research to current practice.
