Preliminary session to EDO Conference 2016

On 10th of May, the preliminary session to EDO Conference 2016 will take place in EAPC under the theme "Knowledge and generational change in public administrations", addressed to managers of public administration institutions, training managers, trainers, and human resources managers from different public administrations.

The average age of the public employee evinces that a considerable number of them will retire within the following years. This situation raise the need to tackle the way to keep expert knowledge of these people. That means starting solutions in order to manage properly this knowledge before these people, who have achieved it along their professional careers, abandon the organization. The consequences of not acting about it could affect the quality of the services that public administrations provide.

The purpose of this session is to discuss about the need to manage expert knowledge before the generational change in public administrations and to exhibit some experiences to avoid this loss. The session starts with the welcome of Meritxell Masó, secretary of Public Administration and Service, and the Director of the Catalan School of Public Administration (EAPC), Agustí Colomines. The topics handled will be “Cognitive Analysis of Processes. How to keep the knowledge generated by people who retired” by Mikel Gorriti (Eusko Jaurlaritza); “Evoked organization: An experience related to give value to memory” by Manel Muntada (Cum Clavis) and “How to anticipate to teacher capital loss: an experience of EAPC” given by Bea Aguer (EAPC).
