Knowledge is the number one factor of production and competitiveness. No company can afford to do without the know-how and expertise present in the minds of its own employees. Quite the contrary! The increasing shortage of skilled workers makes well-trained experts highly attractive to competitors and their potential departure is a real business risk.

The Management Institut für den Mittelstand (MIM) helps operationalise, secure and manage company-relevant know-how and protect companies against permanent knowledge loss.

We are happy to discuss in detail with you the direct and indirect knowledge in your organisation. We are well aware that the risk of know-how loss increases as work processes are better defined and whenever employees are given more independence to carry out specific tasks.
