	Knowledge transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge transfer in the fields of Organizational development and organizational learning, is the practical problem of getting a packet of knowledge from one part of the organization to another (or all other) parts of the organization.
		Knowledge transfer is more complex because (1) knowledge resides in organizational members, tools, tasks, and their subnetworks (Argote and Ingram 2000) and (2) much knowledge in organizations is tacit or hard to articulate (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995).
		Knowledge transfer is often used as a synonym for training.

	Knowledge Transfer and Exchange \| CHSRF
		Knowledge transfer and exchange is collaborative problem-solving between researchers and decision makers.
		A leader in knowledge transfer and exchange since its inception in 1997, the foundation's model of effective knowledge exchange involves interaction between decision makers and researchers and results in mutual learning through the process of planning, disseminating, and applying existing or new research in decision-making.
		Knowledge transfer and exchange supports and improves evidence-based decision-making to help ensure the best possible decisions are made in running our healthcare system.

	Knowledge Transfer
		Knowledge transfer is only valuable when it is integrated into a set of policies for knowledge generation and capture.
		While conventional wisdom on why knowledge is difficult to transfer within firms has focused on motivational barriers, Szulanski (1996) found that features of the knowledge itself and the receiver's inability to interpret it were two of the most important factors in inhibiting knowledge transfer.
		Despite the current emphasis on technology and new methods of idea transmission, much knowledge remains tacit and is most efficiently transmitted in person, renewing the importance of decidedly low-tech practices including job rotation across units, cross-functional meetings, cross-unit or cross-group meetings (e.g., sales convention), mentoring, training, and free time during coffee breaks.

	Knowledge Transfer and Collaboration in Distributed U.S.-Thai Teams
		The goal was to examine the validity of a four-factor framework of knowledge transfer (the "4 C Framework"), which proposes that capability, credibility, communication, and culture of the source significantly affects knowledge transfer.
		The extent (or amount) of knowledge transferred is hypothesized to be proportional to the difference in knowledge levels of the source and the potential recipient.
		Similarly, the extent of knowledge transferred by an individual to his/her local subgroup members was measured by the mean of the extent of learning of the local subgroup members from this individual.

	Increase the Success of Your Knowledge Transfer Effort - Weigh In - weighin - CIO
		Knowledge transfer is one of the first tasks of transitioning to an outsourced model, but it’s sometimes overlooked or under-planned, resulting in a shaky start to the relationship.
		Since knowledge transfer is usually one of the first tasks of transitioning to an outsourced model, it is sometimes overlooked or under-planned, resulting in a shaky start to the outsourcing relationship.
		Further complicating the situation is that most of the knowledge to be transferred is possessed by the legacy staff members who are usually (at this point) anxious and uncertain about their roles in the future organization.

	Understanding knowledge management and information management: the need for an empirical perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tacit knowledge is defined as action-based, entrained in practice, and therefore cannot be easily explained or described, but is considered to be the fundamental type of knowledge on which organizational knowledge is built (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995; Choo 1998a).
		Knowledge sharing is perceived, for example, by the World Bank as critical for economic development and as an important next step going beyond the dissemination of information (MacMorrow, 2001).
		However, the fact that the type of the knowledge targeted in most initiatives was tacit knowledge suggest that most organizations subscribe to the model of Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995), leading to the conclusion that KM focuses mainly on tacit and undocumented knowledge while IM remains presumably responsible for managing information and explicit knowledge.

	HSS - HSS - Newsroom: HSS Knowledge Transfer With British Hospitals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This alliance is the second knowledge transfer HSS has undertaken with the British public health service in its efforts to improve health care in hospitals across England by incorporating HSS best practices for hip and knee replacement surgery.
		HSS's first knowledge transfer was initiated after a study conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons and the British Orthopaedic Association in 2000 on outcomes for hip replacement surgery in the U.K. found patients experienced long waiting times followed by lengthy hospital stays for hip and knee replacements.
		The NHS designated HSS as a resource partner for knowledge transfer with four NHS trusts in Southwest London and HSS began working with the trusts in 2000 to replicate the HSS patient-focused system of care at every level by transferring its quality models of infection control, patient education and patient "throughput" and rehabilitation protocols.

	U.S. companies failing to transfer critical knowledge
		Many U.S. organisations are failing to capture critical knowledge and experience from older employees approaching retirement and few seem able to transfer valuable knowledge to newer employees, according to research from consultants Accenture.
		Only one in five said they anticipated an intensive, months-long process of knowledge transfer prior to their leaving, while fewer than one in three (28 per cent) said they expected to undertake a formal process lasting one or two weeks.
		For a further 16 per cent, the extent of the transfer process would be some form of informal discussion with others in the organisation prior to their retirement.

	The Knowledge Coach — HBS Working Knowledge
		Certainly some level of expertise is required, some knowledge that is worth transferring; beyond that, a desire to coach and some skill at dealing with people who may have little or no prior knowledge.
		But because those pieces of knowledge passed along were rooted in the recent experience of the coach, this was not like a game of "telephone," where the knowledge gets distorted by being passed along.
		Therefore, if we decide in our organizations to employ apprentices as knowledge coaches, we need to be aware of the pieces of the puzzle that the apprentices have experienced and those that are outside their repertoire.
