Mastering First Principles: Empowering Your Team, Elevating Your Performance

The knowledge and skills your people apply in their daily activities directly contribute to the overall performance of your organization. At Transition Path, we believe that by fully understanding what your people do, the sequence in which they do it, and the current state of their work, you position yourself to better grasp and implement the changes required to minimize executional risk when people move.

At Transition Path, this is how we define First Principles.

Why Transition Path

When employees leave, they take valuable knowledge with them, and most job descriptions fail to capture the true scope of the work being done. Each month, 1.6% of the U.S. workforce exits, yet most organizations do little to preserve the knowledge that walks out the door. As a result, companies often spend significant time and resources relearning and retraining just to maintain productivity levels. We believe this is one of the biggest resource inefficiencies in any organization, which is why we’ve developed tools to capture and codify the essential domain knowledge held by your experts.

What We Do

What We Do: Enable Knowledge Transfer for Sustainable Growth and Innovation

We provide turnkey solutions to capture and organize your employees’ work, considering order, priority, conditions, and expertise required. Delivered next business day, our solutions provide local management with the data needed to make informed decisions during periods of change.

We believe you already have the knowledge to solve your most complex challenges. Our scalable, evidence based solutions codify this knowledge, balancing speed, cost-efficiency, and results while minimizing impact on your subject matter experts’ productivity.

With real-time data, we identify patterns that drive high performance and uncover growth opportunities during change. By equipping successors with codified knowledge, we can demonstrate measurable improvements in productivity and proficiency that outweigh the cost and effort of capturing this expertise.

Tacit knowledge—the culmination of experience and expertise—enables experts to predict outcomes based on relevant data. For 15 years, Transition Path has seen the productivity challenges organizations face when experienced employees leave. The “convenient confidence factor” assumes successors can match expert proficiency without adequate knowledge transfer, but the reality is they cannot.

At Transition Path, we isolate the impact of tacit knowledge on productivity and deliver strategies to reduce risk. Our practical solutions ensure seamless knowledge transfer and reduce dependence on individual expertise.

When working with clients, we create safe spaces for experts to share their work, beginning with celebrating their contributions. We believe this foundation strengthens organizations and helps them thrive during times of change.

Preserving institutional knowledge to accelerate innovation and growth.

Organizations around the world are continuously seeking ways to improve productivity and build proficiency. For decades, this often involved acquiring and deploying new technologies. However, in parallel, labor markets have seen a trend of employee turnover, which in some cases has exceeded 2% of the workforce per month. Despite this, few organizations have focused on capturing and transferring critical knowledge to ensure productivity is maintained and proficiency is achieved. This lack of knowledge transfer can undermine sustainable performance, particularly during periods of change.
