How would you function without a roadmap in your car? If you were familiar with the route and knew how to get from Point A to Point B, then you’d have no problem. But, what if you were in a new city without a roadmap, would you be able to find your way around without getting hopelessly lost?Finding your way around an organization is no different. Old-timers rely on their old familiar routes and follow their tried and true routines. Newcomers benefit from the old-timers’ knowledge – learning from them the tricks of their trade. The reality is, however, your old-timers won’t be around forever. Their intellectual capital is one of your organization’s most important assets. Finding new and better ways to capture their knowledge base before they’ve moved on is critical to maintaining your organization’s effectiveness.
