What is Knowledge Stewardship?

Keeping evidence and decisions useful after a project ends, so others can find and trust them.

What you learn

Store findings so others can reuse them without asking you.

When it helps

research keeps getting lost, or teams repeat studies that were already done.

Use it at work

  1. Write each finding as one clear sentence.
  2. Add the evidence, who was studied, and when.
  3. Link the decisions it informed.
  4. Store it where others search, and review it yearly.

Your output

For your last three findings, write each one as a sentence, with its evidence, date, who it’s about and the decision it informed. Store them where others search.

Watch for

Leaving findings in slide decks and in people’s heads, with no context.
