Organizational Knowledge Transfer & Role Continuity Workbook
A Practical System for Documenting Critical Work, Preparing Backup Support & Keeping Responsibilities Moving
When someone leaves a job, changes roles, or needs another person to cover their responsibilities, how does the work keep moving? Essential knowledge often lives in one person's experience: recurring deadlines, unwritten procedures, working relationships, and the details behind unfinished projects. The Organizational Knowledge Transfer & Role Continuity Workbook helps organizations capture that knowledge, prepare the next person, and check whether they can put the information to use. Designed for planned departures, internal role changes, routine backup coverage, and unexpected absences, each copy focuses on one role. The role holder, backup or recipient, and coordinating lead contribute to the process.
