In many organizations, leaders presume that the collective knowledge that makes the organization effective will persist without a structured approach to retain it.
A great topic. One that most organizations should embrace, but don't. I'm sure other military organizations do this, but when I was in the Marine Corps, during my last assignment I had, I was responsible for a lot of different sections, which I didn't have any formal training in. That is why we had Turnover Folders and Desk Top Procedures. I didn't have to go to school, all I needed to be able to do was read and have common sense.
I think a great follow up article would be something along the lines of, "Why do people play, 'I've got a secret' with organizational knowledge?"
If I'm the keeper of the knowledge, then I am important is my theory.
