Abstract

Developing knowledge and creating knowledge society seems like to be among the major factors in founding and further developing modern society. Development is strongly associated with projects as temporary and unique processes, and thus being tools for enabling development. Accordingly, in competitive and globalised modern society, arising of thoughts about project society being able to successfully implement multitude of projects is not surprising. Since establishing knowledge- and project-society appears to be among nations’ strategic goals, it is important to recognise and eliminate their possible deficiencies. In doing so, the paper propose using the holistic, i.e. systems approach and integration of expanded concepts about knowledge- and project-society into holistic project-knowledge society. Efforts for creating such society start with educating and qualifying as many as possible individuals. The final part of the paper shows the case following this idea on Specialist graduate professional study of Project management at the “B.A.Krčelić” Accredited College of Business and Management in Zaprešić, Croatia.
