I give up!
I know lots of people on this list! I like Jonno White's organizational knowledge implementation guide:
1. Start with one question: “What knowledge do we not capture that we could not afford to lose?”
2. Choose a community.
3. Start somewhere small and visible.
4. Develop your vocabulary with your leadership team [common understanding of terms is a big deal, IMO]

50 Outstanding Voices on Organisational Knowledge
Introduction Every organisation is sitting on a gold mine it cannot see. The meetings that shape decisions, the workarounds that keep systems running, the judgment calls that experienced people make without being able to explain them, the hard-won lessons from projects that succeeded or failed for reasons nobody wrote down: this is organisational knowledge, and most organisations are losing it faster than they can create it. The challenge is not new. What is new in 2026 is the gap between how mu
Conversation is the main way that non-codified knowledge gets shared. We should continuously seek out ideas. We can then have conversations around these ideas to make sense of them. Sharing closes the circle. Without effective sensemaking at the individual level, social learning at the community and organizational levels is mere noise amplification.
Conversation, not prompt engineering, is how people learn from each other.
"Ask a twenty-two-year-old to connect to a remote server via SSH. Ask them to explain what DNS is at a conceptual level. Ask them to tell you the difference between their router’s public IP and the local IP of their laptop. Ask them to open a terminal and list the contents of a directory. These are not advanced topics. Twenty years ago these were things you learned in the first week of any serious engagement with computers."

Rotana Ty 🐘"Write but also manage knowledge – connect concepts, standardize language, and organize content (both creation and consumption) for better discovery and reuse."
On the last Friday of each month I curate some of the observations and insights that were shared on social media. I call these Friday’s Finds.

Share – Catch and Release Knowledge

"For me, throughout my career (and personal) development, I have done the same thing with information. I catch and release information. I have been called a “Master Pack Rat” and “Town Crier” – remembering projects, people, organizations, and events; collecting and archiving electronic and paper information; notetaking during conversations; and unconditionally sharing information." - @shirleyr #PKMastery
