Knowledge Transfer Special Report

New in 2010!

It’s one of the biggest issues organizations will face in the coming years . . . effectively transferring corporate knowledge from veteran to emerging contributors. As the Baby Boomers begin their migration toward retirement, they will take with them the millions of insights they have developed thru years of trial and error. With the explosion of information and technology that has taken place over the past 30 years, transferring this knowledge from one generation will become more critical, and more difficult, than any time in history. We are not just talking data here. This is about the interpretive wisdom, the so-called tacit knowledge that people use to do their jobs. Most organizations are only now beginning to discover the challenges associated with identifying, codifying and transferring the vast amount of these insights possessed by veteran contributors. This report is designed to help you accomplish two goals:

• Develop an understanding of the critical role that knowledge transfer will play within your organization going forward, and
