When aiming at developing skills, the natural tendency is to provide additional knowledge. But in the case of experienced people, the most efficient way is often to build on their existing experience: this is the buried treasure, just under our feet!
This unigram justifies the whole unigrams approach. The larger the experience, the higher the benefits.
The whole series is based on the best observed practices. They will be used to share the common experience of the company.

The Winning Handover
The right hand offers to the left one and the left hand draws from the right one.
The pool-in reflex : this might interest someone else.
The pool-out reflex : this should already exist somewhere
Such a behavior is a key success factor for our company.
The Tightrope
Disseminating ideas and re-using solutions implemented somewhere else is a difficult exercise.
You always have to find the right balance between:
simply reproducing the solution, which is a quick and cheap answer, and
taking into account all local characteristics and building a custom-made solution
The Magic Trick
In a magic trick, you need the magic wand and the magic words. Giving only the magic wand to someone is of no use.
When passing knowledge on, be sure to pass on all the aspects of the experience, including tips, difficulties and failures.
Chase the Octopus Away
As many scientific experiences prove it, the octopus is a very intelligent animal. Despite this it’s not the King of the seas. Why?
After laying her eggs the female octopus stays with them, refusing to eat. When they hatch she dies. There is absolutely no transmission of knowledge down the generations and the fabulous intelligence of the octopus hits a dead end.
Unlike the octopus, what characterises us is our ability to learn from each other. A very intelligent person who doesn’t share his knowledge has no business being with us. Chase the Octopus Away!
