Abstract

The literature has increasingly recognized the relevance of sensemaking in relation to learning. However, limited research has specifically explored learning in project-based organizations from a sensemaking perspective. This article adopts a sensemaking perspective to understand learning in the context of project-based organizations based on reflections of project leaders. Twenty seven semi-structured interviews have been conducted with senior managers from large construction, engineering and infrastructure firms. It is argued that sensemaking provides an insightful perspective through which to understand learning.
