Abstract Better utilization of the knowledge of employees in any organization has long been accepted as a vital component of acorporation's competitiveness. This has been considered even more important in the construction industry due to the dynamicand intermittent nature of construction projects. With the rapid advance of network technologies during the last decade,construction companies quickly shifted their focus of knowledge management to interactive online repositories. However, theefforts of leveraging organizational knowledge has remained fragmented in the construction industry until recent years. Inaddition, companies have begun to realize that actual returns on this investment in network technologies would be far less thaninitial expectations if online efforts do not incorporate companies' general offline knowledge management efforts, which aredone without the use of computer network.
Thus, this paper focused on assessment of implementing current Lessons-Learned Systems at the large construction companiesin Korea to provide the foundation for developing a renovated conceptual Lessons-Learned System model.
