Like individuals, businesses and other organizations remember and forget what they know. Organizational memory consists of what knowledge a business has recorded and can recall as needed, combined with the knowledge and experience in the collective minds of its current employees. This knowledge, although it is difficult to quantify, is a valuable asset to the business and must be managed with the same diligence as other assets.
