This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Organizational Forgetting PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding Organizational Forgetting through 2 key dimensions. The first dimension contrasts Accidental Forgetting with Intentional Forgetting. Accidental Forgetting refers to the unintentional loss of valuable knowledge, which can lead to a decrease in competitiveness. In contrast, Intentional Forgetting involves a strategic decision to let go of outdated or irrelevant information to enhance organizational agility and responsiveness.
The second dimension focuses on Entrenched Knowledge versus New Knowledge. Entrenched Knowledge is described as information that is embedded in durable systems, such as databases and established routines. This type of knowledge can become a barrier to innovation if not managed properly. New Knowledge, on the other hand, is more fluid and often resides within teams or individuals. It is essential for organizations to balance these 2 types of knowledge to foster innovation while retaining critical insights.
The slide emphasizes that the process of forgetting is not straightforward. It is influenced by the interplay between these 2 dimensions. Organizations must recognize that effective management of knowledge retention and forgetting is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. The modern landscape, characterized by rapid technological advancements and decentralized structures, complicates this further, leading to fragmented knowledge creation. Understanding these dynamics is vital for leaders aiming to navigate the complexities of knowledge management.
