DH KM framework to support transition

This week, I went along to an NHS Midlands and East event, on the DH KM framework.  The DH team have updated the framework since I last took a look, in particular the prioritisation guide.  This has now been condensed to 6 questions - easier to follow than their earlier flowchart:

• to what extent will the knowledge be in demand in the future
• to what extent will there be disruption in the personnel responsible for the activities?
• would the loss of this knowledge create risk to continuity or success of the function?
• is this knowledge unique?
• will the person/people be leaving soon? 
• will there be a useable overlap when relevant personnel from both the sender and receiver function are in place?

The questions help prioritise where to focus efforts and identify most appropriate methods for capturing knowledge and connecting people.
