Key takeaways

  • A knowledge audit catalogs expertise by domain, criticality, and where it currently resides.
  • Process maps are an effective starting point, prompting what knowledge each step requires.
  • Knowledge inventories, expertise matrices, and capability heat maps visualize the landscape.
  • Mapping reveals single points of failure where critical knowledge sits with one person.
  • Undocumented, unprotected knowledge held by individuals is a key risk the map surfaces.
