'Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in' - Leonardo da Vinci
Most often, one hears of knowledge retention in the context of losing key employees and using techniques such as exit interviews to try to capture their knowledge. In reality, knowledge retention should be integrated into how the organisation operates and start well before a key employee is about to depart. Although it is considered crucial for long term organisational success, few companies have formal knowledge retention strategies.
Knowledge retention involves capturing knowledge in the organisation so that it can be used later. To start, we must ask; what knowledge is at risk? What effect will it have? How can it be retained?
