• Please note that training files will be provided in Project 2010 file format. Project 2007 users must be able to open Project 1020 files. It will also be the responsibility of the user to transpose the ribbon-based menu commands to the appropriate toolbar commands in Microsoft Project 2007 during this session.
• As an alternative, attendees will also have the option to use a hosted version of Microsoft Project 2013.

Staff Turnover Causes Loss of Institutional Knowledge

Over the next decade, organizations will experience the largest wave of retirements in history. To further impact turnover rates, Gen X and Gen Y workers on the average are leaving after only 5 and 2 years of services respectively.

Without a solid and ongoing information succession plan to capture, transform, align and track your employees’ tacit knowledge, your company’s ability to maintain and/or increase its performance will be affected.

Register to hear more about this challenge and to learn about strategies you could implement at your company to protect your institutional knowledge.
