Knowledge transfer applying the structural Complexity Management approach

Enterprises in all industries are facing the challenge of transferring knowledge in order to keep up their competitiveness. This challenge is intensified by the fact that the frequency of transfers increases while the time slots for transfers decrease. The application of methods and tools to support knowledge transfers must not be resource-consuming. Numerous existing approaches turn out to be unsuitable in practice, as they do not fulfill this fundamental requirement. We developed an approach for efficient knowledge transfer in cooperation with industrial partners using the method of Structural Complexity Management. The approach stands out for its uncomplicated application and limited resource consumption. The intuitive visualization of analysis results enables employees to focus on relevant knowledge components. The systematic prioritization of these relevant components facilitates a well-directed knowledge transfer between employees.
