Week 3 — Monday S1

Your AS/400 is held together by three people. One just turned 62. What's your plan?

This isn't a hypothetical.

It's the most common conversation we have.

A business running an AS/400 - or something like it. Three people who really understand it. One of them is approaching retirement. No documentation. No succession plan. No one else in the organisation who knows what's inside.

The system doesn't care. It'll keep running.

Until it doesn't.

The risk isn't the software. It's the knowledge.

Institutional knowledge walking out the door is one of the least-discussed legacy risks - and one of the most real.

What's your plan?

A few quick questions

Optional — answer as many or as few as you like. No follow-up unless you want one.

How many people in your organisation could keep your core system running if needed?

Is anyone holding that knowledge close to retirement?

Does any documentation exist beyond what's in people's heads?

Is there a succession or knowledge-transfer plan in place?

Want a free conversation about what a knowledge-transfer plan could look like?

My thoughts

Anything else on your mind — your situation, a question, a reaction. Completely optional.
