Knowledge Management


Transfer IT knowledge before it's gone.

Mitigate Key IT Employee Knowledge Loss


The challenge

  • More than 66 million baby boomers are reaching their end career state. That means a large portion of your IT knowledge will walk out the door soon.
  • Younger people tend to have less connectivity with your company. Once trained, they may leave a lot quicker than earlier generations.
  • Effective knowledge management mitigates the risk of people leaving. It also allows people to develop into new roles faster.

Our advice

Insight

  • 74% of organizations do not have a formal knowledge retention process. Missing knowledge leads to lower productivity and reinventing the wheel. At worst, it leads to lower stability because incident resolution takes longer. 
  • Lack of knowledge retention means money out the door. We estimate that fortune 500 companies lose a combined $31.5 billion every year because they fail to share knowledge.
  • Right-size your approach to your company and align it with your culture.
  • Decide on which employees or consultants (don't forget those!) are most likely to leave and what impact that would have on your company. Focus first on them.
  • Based on the type of knowledge that needs to be captured, select the best ways to do that: explicit or tacit.

  1. You identified knowledge and stakeholder risks.
