Description
When a cross-organizational project ends, the outcomes, relationships, and knowledge built during it effectively disappear. Nobody outside the project knows who was involved or what was learned. This information stays in the heads of individual participants, inaccessible to anyone who might benefit from it in future collaborations. The next person working on a similar topic has to start from scratch — often reinventing work that has already been done.
