Industry-wide, airports are experiencing disruptive and continuous changes that include the rapid introduction of new technology, financial constraints, retirements, and the need to replace seasoned veterans. These changes are compounded by a diminishing pipeline of individuals interested in working at airports. While the term “knowledge management” is not in widespread use at airports, many are already applying techniques, such as documenting standard operating procedures or conducting after-action reviews following airport disruptions. Knowledge management (KM) is a well-established discipline for creating, capturing, sharing, and leveraging essential knowledge needed for success. Without tasking these deliberate steps, airports may face reduced efficiency, degradation of customer service, and increased vulnerability to business and operational interruptions. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that provided practical approaches and solutions that any airport can use to facilitate active and continuous knowledge management.
This webinar was based on ACRP Research Report 258: The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports.
This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
The slides and recording are available.
