DESCRIPTION
Organizations have, in recent times, become aware of the worth of regulating their Organizational Knowledge. Extensive studies in academia have been conducted on the subject, because of its importance. In fact, Organizational Knowledge can make or break an organization.
Some organizations forget things they should know and incur huge costs to replace lost knowledge. Conversely, there is knowledge that traps the organizations in the past and keeps them reliant on uncompetitive technologies, dysfunctional cultures, and untenable assumptions. Successful organizations make themselves adept at avoiding these pitfalls.
This presentation peers inside the Organizational Forgetting Matrix that highlights the 4 forms of Organizational Forgetting. These forms of Organizational Forgetting are a consequence of interaction of the following 2 dimensions:
1. Accidental Forgetting vs. Intentional Forgetting.
2. Entrenched knowledge vs. New knowledge.
Interaction of the above 2 dimensions results in 4 processes that constitute the Forms of Organizational Forgetting:
1. Memory Decay
2. Failure to Capture
3. Unlearning
4. Avoiding Bad Habits
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
Understanding the nuances of Organizational Forgetting is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. This PPT delves into the complexities of Memory Decay, highlighting how downsizing and the loss of critical relationships can exacerbate knowledge loss. It emphasizes the importance of identifying the true sources of organizational knowledge, which often reside in employees' minds, informal notes, and dispersed hard drives.
The presentation also covers strategies for avoiding the failure to capture newly innovated knowledge, stressing the need for robust processes to prevent valuable information from slipping through the cracks. It provides actionable insights on how to connect new knowledge with existing expertise, ensuring seamless integration and retention. This resource is indispensable for leaders aiming to safeguard their organization's intellectual assets.
