Share Tacit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge comes from the on-the-job experience and outside knowledge that people bring to their work. As such, it is

rarely documented and requires employees to contribute discretionary effort to share and transfer it. This tacit knowledge is a

crucial input into training and continued learning as well as for building a knowledge base that can be accessed by

employees at the moment they need it, whether working on a project or engaging with a customer. For many organizations,

it is their competitive advantage—and it is at significant risk of being lost when employees leave or change roles.

Discover and Connect with Experts

Today, there are fewer and fewer large companies whose employees are all located in the same building, city, or

even country. Remote access, mobile devices, virtual communities, and other technology-mediated environments

are driving the decentralization of organizations and workplaces. Outsourcing, offshoring, contingent staffing, and

evolving models of employee engagement are also driving decentralization. From the perspective of the workforce,

the demand for greater work/life balance is spurring a demand by employees to work from home more frequently.

According to the Gartner Group, there will be 46.6 million teleworkers worldwide by the end of 2011

Attract and Retain Talent

The workplace of the 2010s will be one of unprecedented generational diversity. The youngest cohort in today’s

workplace—and the ones businesses need most to replace retiring baby boomers—is the Millennial generation (b.

1981–2000). These digital natives grew up with computers, video games, and the Internet. Their relationship with

technology provides them with not only useful skills but also a fundamentally networked view of organizations and

a more informal approach to boundaries and relationships.

Drive Organizational Productivity

In a challenging economic climate, all organizations are looking for ways to improve productivity, streamline

processes, save costs, and outperform competitors. One key to achieving that is keeping people and teams across

the breadth of the organization (including partners, vendors, outside resources, and potential customers) on the

same page to promote common goals and avoid duplication of effort. What makes managing virtual teams

particularly challenging is that team membership tends to be fluid and can include people from outside the

organization. Virtual teams form and reform often, and can have multiple reporting relationships at different times.

And when teams are loosely organized and distributed across multiple geographies, visibility into data and

processes becomes even more critical.
