If your most experienced employee failed to arrive tomorrow, what would stop working?

Every organisation has people who hold knowledge that cannot be found in a procedure, manual or database. They know what to watch for, who to contact, how to prevent problems and what to do when the standard process no longer works.

That knowledge may have taken 20 years to develop and could disappear with four weeks’ notice.

From Expert to Knowledge Sharer helps organisations identify, unlock and transfer critical workplace knowledge before it is lost.

A practical one-day intervention that helps organisations begin transferring valuable workplace knowledge before it is lost.

Learning Outcomes

The organisational outcomes become:

  • Reduced key-person dependency
  • Improved operational resilience
  • Stronger succession planning
  • Faster development of less-experienced employees
  • More consistent processes and decisions
  • Reduced repetition of avoidable mistakes
  • Better cross-functional collaboration
  • Greater return from existing expertise
  • A culture in which knowledge-sharing is expected and valued

Who is this course for?

Business owners, managers, supervisors, and experienced employees who want to share their knowledge and support others’ development.
