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.
