The session is highly practical, with a focus on solutions that can be implemented using existing tools and systems. There is no “one size fits all” approach to knowledge management, but with an understanding of foundational elements and key considerations, an organization can build an effective blueprint for stewarding its most important knowledge assets thereby maintaining continuity and improving efficiency and effectiveness. Whether you’re a leader navigating staff transitions, succession planning, or organizational restructuring, this session will provide a framework for managing the critical information and insights that drive success in your team, emphasizing solutions that require minimal new investment and make the most of your existing organizational resources.

Business Need

As organizations experience increasing retirements, employee transitions, and restructuring, they risk losing critical organizational knowledge and experience. Without proactive strategies, essential information, processes, and insights are easily lost, resulting in reduced efficiency, costly mistakes, and disruption of continuity. Knowledge Management (KM) provides leaders with effective methods to systematically capture, retain, and share vital organizational knowledge. By learning and applying foundational KM practices, organizations can maintain continuity, accelerate onboarding, support succession planning, and ensure ongoing access to important insights and expertise
