Abstract:

An aging workforce presents a serious threat to the stability and continuity of an organization as that workforce takes with it into retirement years of experience, insight, and knowledge. As a result, organizations are faced with the challenge of how to mitigate the loss of intellectual capital during the process of transferring knowledge to the remaining workforce in order to maximize the chances of continued organizational success. This paper offers a practical method of application for intra-organizational professional development that seeks to mitigate lost knowledge by introducing a process referred to as Accelerated Experiential Exposure, as well as an epistemological frame from which it is presented, referred to as Replicative Indwelling.
