Abstract: An internally developed knowledge transfer methodology ensures at Credit
Suisse that irreplaceable know-how (implicit and explicit) remains within the firm –
even when keypersons leave, e.
g.
retirement, internal job mobility, extended absence
or general leaving.
The methodology tested in theory and in praxis was developed by supporting
over 80 keypersons and became part of the organisation in 2008.
By covering general
aspects of knowledge transfer as well as enhancing the human capital development in
the business, the methodology provides a basis for organisational development: Due
to transparent tasks and functions efficient and sustainable changes are possible.
