The Knowledge-Sharing & Silo-Busting Workshop
One person knows everything? Distribute knowledge and reduce 'bus factor' risks.
About this session
When a project relies on one person for critical information, the entire team faces a bottleneck whenever that person is absent or busy. This session identifies these high-risk knowledge gaps and builds a concrete schedule for cross-training, ensuring that expertise is distributed rather than hoarded.
Why it works
The workshop moves from individual mapping to collective accountability by making hidden dependencies visible to everyone. By breaking down complex roles into specific, transferable tasks, it removes the friction of starting a knowledge transfer and turns cross-training into a standard team habit.
What you’ll walk away with

- Increased participant engagement and buy-in

- Improved team alignment on the topic
