Knowledge Transfer Plan Writing Services | EDC Technical Writing

Guarantee business continuity with our knowledge transfer planning services

If you depend heavily on a few key employees to keep their operational areas running smoothly, you have single points of failure that could cripple your business should they leave.

Your core functions, complex projects, and proprietary systems must remain operational regardless of staff turnover in order to effectively protect revenue streams and prevent costly downtime.

EDC’s knowledge management services help you eliminate these single points of failure and ensure your operations run smoothly, regardless of who’s at the helm. Our services run the full spectrum of assessing, planning, writing, and training.

Why you need knowledge transfer services

A knowledge transfer plan is formal, strategic blueprint that outlines the processes for efficiently capturing, documenting, and sharing critical expertise, skills, and institutional knowledge between individuals or teams within your organization.

Getting help creating a knowledge transfer plan is an especially relevant service for enterprise organizations, as it’s a vital tool for risk mitigation, ensuring that essential business functions do not suffer disruption due to:

  • Employee retirement or resignation
  • Internal role changes and promotions
  • Mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring
  • Rapid organizational growth or scaling
