Public agencies across the country are facing an urgent challenge: how to transfer institutional knowledge as Baby Boomers retire, Gen X approaches retirement, and Millennials and Gen Z step into leadership roles. With engineering and project management vacancies already straining city resources, agencies risk disruptions to critical services without a clear succession strategy.
Harris & Associates explores practical solutions to mind the “leadership handoff gap.” From knowledge transfer techniques and consultant-supported transitions to building shared knowledge repositories, we highlight approaches that help agencies preserve continuity, retain expertise, and prepare the next generation of leaders.
