The contingency inventory is essential to the transfer of key knowledge in your organization.

It’s a document that is updated regularly with critical information and made available to anyone at the senior leadership level.

It provides a reference document for a variety of critical positions and ensures that important information is transmitted to employees who move into new positions through succession management processes.

This information may also be required for a variety of other reasons, including unexpected employee departures.

Use this tool to improve your organization's institutional memory and to transfer organizational knowledge.
