Just a thought, from RESULTS ORIENTED

"Knowledge Transfer" Huge projects were successfully tackled many years ago. In 3,200BC Newgrange was built in Ireland. Followed by the Egyptian pyramids, England's Stonehenge and countless Roman civil engineering products, all still standing today. These projects required project management over a large number of years. eg:Just imagine the planning to keep all the people housed and fed so they could work. Plus the planning and co-ordination to have construction material delivered on-time, and to specification. These projects took years to complete, so they also need to pass along specific knowledge, eg:how to raise a very, very large stone block, to the top of a very tall building, without a tower-crane. And having amassed all this knowledge on one site, you then need to reprise the "Lessons Learned" on the next site. Which the Romans obviously did, if you look at their arches, as an example. So how are we doing today? Argote&Ingram , in 2000, highlight the difficulties, and best approaches to Knowledge Transfer. Eg:moving a person into another group for a time to learn, and then bringing them back, works better then bringing a knowledgeable person into a group. Mahura&Birollo , in 2020, reviewed current literature on Knowledge Transfer and looked in-depth into one organization. So what did they find? There are formal (eg:standard documents) and informal (eg:personal networking) processes for Knowledge Transfer. With informal processes filling in where the formal ones fail. Eg: Senior management will hide issues in order to appear more successful, but depriving the next project of 'Lessons Learned'.
