Description:
This seminar will present the best Knowledge Management (KM) practices in Europe and demonstrate how to ensure a real transfer of knowledge.
Baby Boomers are now reaching retirement age in record numbers. We need to be doing everything necessary to bring the next generation of government leaders on board, and to ensure that the expert knowledge of the actual managers is preserved. For public sector organisations, it is especially important to plan an intervention to deal with the current phenomenon of large-scale retirement. The discipline of Knowledge Management has been offering tools and methodologies which help organisations to resolve these types of issues for a while now. Specifically, knowledge transfer programmes are one of the most efficient proposals which ensure the transfer of critical knowledge between generations. There are countless benefits to these programs, one of the most important being the continuity of effective governance in public administrations and the resulting positive perception of the public sector among citizens.

This seminar is aimed at public officials from all levels of government, and especially those responsible for human resources and/or training. The seminar will equip them with the knowledge and practical tools to design training programmes and interventions to confront this challenge of generational knowledge transfer.
