With the New Year quickly approaching, it’s not unusual to find people thinking about changing positions or jobs and with that in mind Rob Farley has posted an intelligent and insightful piece of the subject of handing over one’s responsibilities at the end of an employment.
I really like Rob’s suggestion that a handover be ‘practised’. It’s a bit like factoring in ‘mock’ database backup restores into an overall risk strategy plan (I have witnessed first hand, 2 large engineering companies being caught short, by not checking that there was actually something on those backup tapes, that they were sending offsite to a fire safe for 2 years!)
