Knowledge-Harvesting

Knowledge-harvesting is the process of capturing and collecting valuable expertise, insights, and information from individuals, often experts or experienced staff, within an organization or community. It involves systematically gathering tacit knowledge—sometimes difficult to articulate—so it can be shared, preserved, and used to improve processes, decision-making, or training. This practice ensures that critical knowledge isn't lost when people leave or change roles, and it promotes organizational learning and continuity by making important know-how accessible to others.
