INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

A phrase describing the act of handing one's valuable experience and knowledge to others. Its proposition is that experience is transferable only through deliberate extraction: tacit knowledge must be consciously articulated and passed on, otherwise it dissipates when the person who holds it leaves. Qualifier: transfer requires active absorption by the receiver, since listening passively transfers nothing.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Experience extraction: Pull reusable lessons out of work and write them down in a form others can apply. - Structured handover: Transfer critical knowledge before the person holding it leaves the role. - Active absorption: Require the receiver to apply the transferred knowledge rather than merely hear it.

Anchor fast decisions

Tacit knowledge lives in habits and judgment rather than documents, so it disappears when its holder departs unless someone extracts it deliberately. Extraction converts private experience into shared artifacts, and handover rituals place those artifacts where successors can find them. Retention then depends on receivers applying the knowledge, which is what turns a document into organizational memory.
