A generational change is occurring in today’s workplace. Approximately 70 million Boomers are due to retire over the next 15 years. Is your organization prepared to lose its intellectual capital? According to the American Productivity & Quality Center, organizations are vulnerable when it comes to passing their critical know-how from one workplace generation to the next. T

Many of us have a nagging feeling that we and our leaders should be doing something about the critical knowledge and skills that walk out the door with every retirement or departure. But what? The daily reality is that most leaders and companies don’t have the resources to engage in formal knowledge management.

Join us to answer our call to action as catalysts for knowledge sharing and collaboration. In this interactive session, we will take a practical look at knowledge sharing, and learn what we can do as talent development professionals to inform and guide our organizations.

• The Business Case - learn three demographic truths and what they mean
• Risk & Reward - use a job aid to assess the risk of lost expertise to your organization
• Actions - explore how to’s for creating a culture of teaching and learning
