[ Help others succeed ]
I’m very keen to help develop knowledge transfer culture and structures within businesses, and between groups. This particularly applies between generations. The senior expert members of an industry obviously need to transfer their knowledge to the up-and-coming experts of the future.
Knowledge transfer is, fundamentally, a way to contribute to the success of others.
So, a knowledge transfer effort is not about the ‘knower’. It is about helping someone else succeed. Perhaps, deep down, that is harder for experts to understand than we think – someone else’s success.
An effective knowledge transfer effort means that someone else succeeds because of it.
