Knowledge Transfer: Protecting your most valuable investments (people)

Remember your first few weeks on the job?  The ceremonial passing of manila folders and the complete data overload during the transition can be overwhelming.  Sure,  there was training, knowledge bases, and the 5 days of training on the systems and process with the previous person in the job, but it’s usually insufficient.  At best, you were not up and running at full speed for 3-6 months. Steve Trautman has a proven 3 step process used with Fortune 500 companies that will result in about a 50% reduction in your employee’s learning curve irrespective of your company’s size.
