Knowledge transfer is crucial for organizational learning, but traditional methods often overlook hidden risks. This talk delves into how threat modeling can significantly improve knowledge transfer practices. Grady Booch aptly notes, "The code is the truth, but not the whole truth. Architectural design decisions—and many design patterns—transcend individual lines of code. Without documenting these things, those who use/read your code in the future will not be able to see the forest for the trees." Threat modeling addresses this gap by providing comprehensive documentation.

Attendees will explore the fundamentals of knowledge transfer and learn how threat modeling can identify critical knowledge assets, uncover potential gaps, and document the threat model effectively. The session will highlight how threat modeling fosters collaboration between knowledge holders and recipients, enhancing understanding and retention. Participants will gain a practical framework to improve knowledge transfer, making their organizations more adaptable and resilient.
