RES2023-01: Identifying Critical Knowledge Gaps and Assessing Organizational Readiness for Improved Knowledge Management
With over 40% of Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT’s) workforce having less than five years’ experience with the agency, nearly 20% eligible for retirement, and significant private sector competition for mid-career expertise, it is essential that a robust knowledge management (KM) strategy be developed that ensures success in achieving TDOT’s mission now and in the future. The proposed research will provide TDOT with an understanding of its knowledge assets, current KM practices, and organizational culture with respect to KM. The ultimate goal is to enable TDOT to develop a robust and sustainable process for the efficient transfer of knowledge that improves worker retention, technical capacity, KM culture, and continued innovation resulting in successful fulfillment of its mission.
