Talent Strategies Group, a division of Career Partners International – Houston, has launched a new practice area based on the demand in client organizations for knowledge transfer and technical succession planning. Steve Trautman, author of Teach What You Know (Prentice Hall) will deliver a 2-hour power-packed presentation on Knowledge Transfer Across Generations for executives on September 14, 7 – 10 am, at the Houstonian Hotel.
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) August 25, 2011
Steve Trautman has consulted in the area of knowledge transfer for nearly 20 years. He shared, “Knowledge transfer is more than just on-the-job training. It replicates the expertise, wisdom and tacit knowledge of critical professionals into the heads and hands of their coworkers.”
Trautman’s clients ranging from nuclear power plants to manufacturing and high tech companies, experience a 50% faster ramp up to productivity with his knowledge transfer solution.
Mike McKee, managing partner of Talent Strategies Group, stated, “Despite the high unemployment rate, the realities of the maturing workforce have challenged organizations to find the technical talent they need to meet their growing skill gaps. To help our clients address this critical need with a best practices solution that gets results, Talent Strategies Group has launched a knowledge transfer practice based on the Trautman proven solution.”
Sheryl Dawson, executive partner of Talent Strategies Group added, “A recent survey of over 1600 operational executives and human resource professionals in 26 countries identified knowledge and experience loss as a significant result of the retirement of the boomer generation. This is a right now issue that organizations must address to operate successfully and remain competitive.”
Talent Strategies Group is also offering a one-day workshop on October 4 for operational and talent management professionals to learn the knowledge transfer process developed by Trautman. The workshop provides tools and techniques to support mentors (those who have the knowledge) to train and develop mentees, (those who are acquiring the skills and know-how) to perform critical technical roles. One of the biggest challenges for organizations is not only to identify the knowledge and wisdom that must be transferred, but also to train experienced personnel on the fine art of teaching the younger generations.
Dawson commented, “Executives find the behavioral side of the knowledge transfer process to be the most challenging of all. Defining the skills and specific tasks required for job success is only half the battle, but transferring those capabilities requires a collaborative process between the experts and mentees that does not come naturally to most technical talent. The solutions provided in the Trautman knowledge transfer workshop enable organizations to overcome the resistance of experts and mentees and win the talent gap battle!”
