Creating organisations with a memory

When members of your staff leave your organisation are you simply missing capacity or is there something more important missing – knowledge? How do you transfer the knowledge developed by staff and project teams and ensure it is available in focused and effective ways?

ConsultancyCoursesClientsContact
We help plan and implement processes and tools to safeguard and distribute:
  • Your key knowledge assets
  • Lessons learned and best practices

Ensuring that you become less dependent on the immediate availability of your people and protect yourself from corporate amnesia. We design and deliver knowledge maps and web-based navigation tools to allow for easy access to the organisational memory. We can help you to create a strategy for debriefing your people that focuses on the quality, access and diffusion of that knowledge to benefit the whole organisation.

Making personal knowledge explicit

Organisations are frequently confronted with the threat of losing experts that process vital knowledge and expertise for the organisation. In the light of demographic aging, and the early pension wave it is very important to identify who has important knowledge and expertise. Apart from the 'leaving expert' syndrome, making knowledge explicit can also help to improve the quality and efficiency of your organisation.

Learning goals
  • Understand working methods to identify these kinds of situations.
  • Gain insight into the different methods to make knowledge explicit.

Target Audience
This three-day course is aimed at managers (HR/ knowledge workers) in all types of organisations and sectors who face the challenge of succession planning and knowledge retention.
