Safeguarding Institutional Knowledge with Decisioning Digital Twins

Institutional knowledge serves as the backbone of any organisation, encapsulating years of accumulated expertise, processes, and insights unique to a company. However, as seasoned employees retire or transition out of an organisation, their departure poses significant risks.

There’s the real threat of vital knowledge loss. Individuals often hold specialised knowledge, which is essential for day-to-day operations – from intricate workflows to nuanced client preferences. How many times have we said, ‘just ask X, they will know what to do’. But what happens when X has retired or is no longer with the organisation? Without a proper transfer mechanism, this invaluable information evaporates, leaving knowledge gaps and operational risks.

To mitigate these risks organisations can digitise the decisions these key employees make at each and every level of the organisation. From the mainframe support engineer who knows exactly what to do with the core banking system to the Finance Operations manager who manages payment exceptions, key human decisions can be digitised and utilised in the future.

With the Decisioning Digital Twin Technology from Merlynn Intelligence Technologies this is a reality today. Companies can quickly, within 30-60 minutes, create a digital twin of the decision the retiring or departing employee makes, allowing others to use long after they have left the organisation.

Ultimately, safeguarding institutional knowledge isn’t just about preserving the past; it’s about securing the future resilience and growth of an organisation amidst inevitable transitions. By creating digital twins, digitising and prioritising knowledge continuity, companies can navigate personnel changes with confidence, ensuring a smooth transition and sustained success.
