· Are you planning to retire soon, and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things your replacement will need to know? Who will be able to train someone to do what you do?
· Do you have co-workers who are planning to retire or who are actively seeking other employment? Do you worry that they’ll be taking a lot of important knowledge with them when they go?

Whether you are a senior leader in your organization or you have a job with some unique responsibilities at any level, you may be thinking about what it will take to replace your knowledge, skills, and wisdom. And if you’re not thinking about it, you should be!

How can we make sure we know the important things they’ve learned over the years?

· Strategies their organizations can use to facilitate knowledge transfer
· A strategy they can use personally to ensure that their critical knowledge is available to others
