organizational memory

  

Definition

Largely undocumented experience, insights, knowledge, and skills acquired over the years, passed on to the newcomers through personal contacts, meetings, training courses, and mentor-protégé relationships. Organizational memory (unless pooled and recorded in a readily accessible form such as a database) is destroyed through excessive downsizing, frequent layoffs, unmanaged employee attrition, and/or disasters.
