| Summary: | This paper first describes how a joint applied research centre was established between a leading UK university management school and an international infrastructure management consultancy. It goes on to show how a research
programme was devised through a co-production process,and developed in an academic-practitioner partnership using an evidence-based approach to knowledge management.Because of its innovative approach, the work in the programme is funded by a UK government research grant.The paper presents the early encouraging results from the knowledge management programme, which is now at the end of its first year, and also provides some guidelines for the successful collaborative or co-production model established between an academic institution and industrial partners.
