Actionable knowledge and creative projects: antecedents, practices, and outcomes

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate actionable knowledge in the context of creative projects. A participant inductive investigation that relies primarily on observations and individual interviews was employed. This study identifies two antecedents and three distinct, though complementary, actionable knowledge-related practices of narrowing, broadening, and echoing. These are proposed so as to assist in the development of creative project outcomes and in sustaining an agentic workspace that contributes to collective learning and equalisation of outcomes. The findings of this study enrich the current literature on actionable knowledge in the context of creative projects.
