Succession Planning and the Management of Knowledge Transfer (SOLINET)

Your organization’s workforce will radically be changing within the next five years. As Baby Boomers begin to retire, employers will realize a loss of more than people. It will experience a brain drain loss — the loss of collective knowledge of how the organization works, behaves, and serves its customers. The organization will not be able to sustain its service culture or to develop its remaining and new employees if this corporate knowledge is not effectively transferred. Successfully transferring this knowledge and ensuring the continued effective performance of the organization, its divisions, departments, work groups, and individuals is referred to as succession planning and succession management.
