Knowledge Sharing and Management

Addressing Brain Drain and Improving Knowledge Management

Organizations are losing an unprecedented number of knowledgeable, seasoned professionals to downsizing and retirement – in fact, various reports show within the next five years, up to 60% of Baby Boomers currently in senior management positions are expected to leave the workforce due to retirement – all this resulting in a serious loss of know-how, professional networks, skill set and corporate memory threatening the effectiveness of our organizations.

Perhaps you don’t find yourself in this situation but yet share a similar reality – perhaps you have a large distributed work environment across a wide geographical area and no effective means to reach and connect your workforce in order to drive better performance, effective knowledge sharing and meaningful camaraderie.

No matter your situation, Roberts Golden, helps companies, like yours, to build ‘learning organization’ and knowledge management capabilities ensuring you have the most effective forums, processes and tools in place in order to share knowledge, get the unique knowledge out of employees’ heads and make sure the hard-hitting effects of ‘brain drain’ are a thing of the past.
