Why Knowledge Transfer is needed

Knowledge can be lost in many ways. For example, a key employee could leave the organization or be moved to another area.
The organization could fail to capture essential information from a vendor or contractor.

Knowledge needs to be captured - but it must also be encoded in a user-friendly manner - so it can be used by the widest number of people.

Knowledge Transfer trends

Some companies are transferring work carried out by contractors to in-house personnel. This reduces the overall cost and makes company jobs more secure. Knowledge-transfer techniques support this process. Contact us

Knowledge Transfer and CAT Analysis

CAT analysis is one of the techniques used to capture, encapsulate and transfer technical knowledge. It will identify the core knowledge that must be retained by an organization even in times of change. If the organization were to lose this knowledge its ability to perform efficiently would be negatively affected.

Here are some of the key features of CAT Analysis:

  • It is activity-based
  • It is scalable
  • It can be applied to company level, to departments or to sections
  • It can be applied to any set of activities (e.g., operations, maintenance, business processes)
  • It can be used in conjunction with other improvement techniques
  • It will identify the critical activities
  • It will determine ratings for the critical activities
  • It will identify important but non-critical activities
  • It will identify unimportant and non-critical activities
  • It can be used to measure progress for improvement efforts

CAT analysis is a logical technique that gives rapid results because it taps into the inherent knowledge already present within the organization.
