Increase Business Performance by Preserving Expertise

SUCCESSION PLANNING When a key person’s departure is foreseeable and their knowledge is too

TRANSITION MANAGEMENT When a plan is needed to help a successor quickly become productive in a new setting.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
When a company could benefit by sharing the knowledge of its top performers.

When There is no Plan B

By 2012, over 65% of the senior leadership in some industries will be gone.

Retiring baby boomers will take years of knowledge with them when they leave. Companies will struggle to maintain performance as they replace this knowledge.

Protect yourself and capture departing intellectual capital before it’s too late.

Avoid losing your greatest asset – don’t wait until top performers leave to spread their knowledge.

Leveraging People’s Smarts to Maximize Performance

Using proprietary Sense-Making techniques, Sagis transfers your most valuable information. This allows a successor to step in and quickly become productive – or for others to replicate the success of top performers.

Thin Blue Line

“Some people are just much more painful to lose than others. Take, for example, our marketing managers. People who are hired on this track take five to six years to get to the top of their game. If they leave, we lose everything they have learned about our consumers and how to effectively market products to them. Losing just one marketing manager, we estimate it actually costs the company millions of dollars!
