Wissensbrücke (Ehemaligenexpertise)

This is a draft document (in German) outlining a new BMZ-approach to capture the knowledge of colleagues about to retire (45% of our management in the next 4 years). The approach, "Wissensbrücke" (translates "knowledge bridge") aims at defining individual areas of expertise which are of special importance for BMZ, finding appropriate ways of sharing this expertise. Finally, retirees list themselves in a small retiree directory, stating for what kind of project-like tasks in what areas BMZ may call back on them. The Wissensbrücke is in a test run right now and to be finalized until the end of 2003.
