The process of keeping knowledge in an organization
Description
Knowledge retention relates to keeping explicit and tacit knowledge in the organization, usually on long term. Retaining tacit knowledge may focus on capturing tacit knowledge, usually a very difficult task, or trying to retain people with the requested knowledge in the organization. A re-hire program for retirees may yield significant benefits. Long-term storage of explicit knowledge requires robust and reliable devices to meet archiving requirements.
