Study of knowledge flow (learning and forgetting), knowledge inventory, and knowledge management. Conducted graduate research at Stanford University and Naval Postgraduate School (2003-2007). Continuing research on knowledge growth and decay with Professors Ray Levitt and Michael Ramscar (Stanford) exploring how managerial interventions that impact individual learning and forgetting of skills among individuals in project groups quantitatively affect project organizations. This research triangulates data from empirical learning situations, synthetic experiments, and computational simulation modeling. | |||

Professor Nissen’s research focuses on the dynamics of knowledge and organization--particularly in the context of command & control (i.e., organization & management)--and he views work, organization, people and technology as an integrated design problem. He is leading a new initiative to investigate command & control in virtual environments, but he is probably known best for his work in Defense Knowledge Management, where he takes a principled approach (e.g., based on his 2006 book entitled Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics: Principled Organizational Knowing & Learning) to enhancing knowledge flows in operational settings. | |||
