'How organisations are letting their most valuable resource slip through their fingers.....and what they can do about it'.

Overview:
Specifically, it's about recognising that certain people in a an organisation aren't just 'good' at what they do - they're 'outstanding', and they have a corresponding impact on the business they're part of - by virtue of their particular style, experience, charisma, wisdom - their particular 'X-Factor' if you like. But what do managers, and individuals themselves proactively DO to deal with the impact of losing that 'X-Factor'?
The presentation outlines a framework/method for coping with such (potential) loss, with the least disruption. While it's relevant to Managers and Directors of businesses, it's equally relevant to individuals who may be looking to develop themselves.

Learning Outcomes:
1. The difference between 'explicit' and 'tacit' knowledge in the context of 'knowledge loss'.
2. The potential costs of 'lost knowledge'.
3. Potential components of a 'Knowledge Retention Strategy'.
4. Risk assessment and recognition of vulnerability.
5. What 'tacit knowledge' means to the development of the organisation, and 'you' the individual employee, and what you can do about it.
