When executives navigate changes like growth, right-sizing, offshoring, new-system implementation, reorganizations, and big project lifecycles, there are bound to be a few technical experts who know what’s going on trying to help everybody else come up to speed. When these experts transfer their knowledge effectively, they shorten the time the organization spends in transition, ensure less rework, help employee engagement and retention and, most importantly, keep customers happy.
