Abstract

As it is well-known, knowledge exploitation is becoming the focus of the economy for the competitiveness of both organizations and countries. In this chapter some models that enable enterprises towards the knowledge society are presented. An Experience Factory is suggested as support to such behavioral models. It collects empirical experiences as Experience-Knowledge Packages. The most relevant innovation of the chapter is represented by the contents and structure of the packages which are different from ones in the literature. The changes made to the structure aim to convince potential addressees to use the contents of the packages and favor their adoption independently from the author(s) of the package. Consequently, the proposed structure allows to produce packages incrementally and cooperatively. The proposed changes derive from the lessons learnt in previous experiences of technology transfer. The chapter presents the PROMETHEUS platform which implements all the requirements for collecting and distributing Knowledge-Experience Packages.
