Knowledge transfer

Often used interchangeably with knowledge sharing, knowledge transfer emphasizes the movement of knowledge from one person or group to another. 

It's the process of transmitting skills, experiences, and insights to ensure that critical information is shared and retained within an organization. This transfer can occur between individuals, teams, or even across different departments or organizational levels.

Think of it as passing the baton of knowledge, ensuring that valuable expertise isn't lost due to employee turnover, organizational changes, or the fading of institutional memory. Effective knowledge transfer ensures that critical information is passed on to those who need it, enabling them to build upon existing knowledge, make informed decisions, and contribute to organizational success.

Knowledge transfer can take various forms:

• Experienced employees guide and share their expertise with less experienced colleagues through mentorship. 
• Skills are passed down through training or direct experience.
• Manuals, guides, and other resources capture and share knowledge.
• Online tools facilitate the exchange of information and collaboration.

Knowledge transfer is essential for organizational continuity and growth, ensuring that valuable expertise remains within the company and fuels future success.
