Abstract
Numerous public agencies have implemented systems for
capturing and disseminating "lessons learned." To the extent that these systems
provide descriptions of procurement practice, they compose a repository of case
studies that may be used to train and educate public procurement professionals.
Realizing the potential for such use depends on the degree to which agency
organizational learning processes and procurement teaching processes may be
integrated. This paper (1) describes lessons learned systems as potential
resources for case studies for use in teaching public procurement; (2) presents
some issues and challenges associated with such use; (3) describes the unique
position of the in-service procurement student in integrating organizational and
individual learning; and (4) concludes with comments on the contributions of
lessons learned systems to public procurement’s intellectual development.
