CKS - Knowledge Transfer

Course description

CKS - Knowledge Transfer

Become a Master in Knowledge Transfer for your team/organization. The Certified Knowledge Specialist in Knowledge Transfer includes the 2-day "Master Class" plus KMI's "KM Foundation" Program.

The Knowledge Transfer Program ensures that unique and critical knowledge/capability is not lost during retirements or other workforce related changes (e.g. promotions, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, job rotations, attrition, etc.). The four-step Knowledge Transfer process (one of the 4 processes we cover) is award-winning and externally validated. And, it comes with a financial calculation for Return-On-Investment for organizations seeking that important metric.
