Corporate amnesia
Corporate amnesia is what happens when an organisation repeatedly loses and relearns knowledge because the reasoning behind past work leaves with the people who did it.
Corporate amnesia shows up as repeated mistakes, slow onboarding, and decisions made without the context of why a similar choice was made or rejected before. It is the organisational cost of not retaining knowledge.
It compounds with turnover and tool sprawl: the more places knowledge lives and the more often people move, the more an organisation forgets.
