Abstract
Team members apply knowledge to implement projects and deliver change. Many studies report inherent challenges and complexities related to knowledge integration and effective decision-making during project implementation. This paper conceptualises the relationship between individual competence, team performance, knowledge integration and decision-making while implementing projects that deliver change. Extant literature is reviewed to analyse the role of knowledge integration capability in enhancing individual competence and team performance, and improving decision-making. The paper provides novel insights that have longer-term implications to support the mobilisation, integration, sharing, and application of knowledge for effective decision-making to underpin the change process.
