What You Know Is What You’re Worth
How to: Preserve Institutional Knowledge. Strengthen Valuation. Ensure Continuity.
  Thomas Mann - Agency Focus

What would happen to the value of your agency if someone one of your key people (or someone you don't even realise is key) walked out the door tomorrow? If that question makes you pause, you’re not alone. With an aging workforce, growing talent gaps, and increased pressure on agency perpetuation, protecting your institutional knowledge isn’t just a smart move—it’s a valuation strategy.

We'll dive into the data behind what’s driving agency valuation today, why knowledge transfer is one of the most overlooked (yet powerful) pillars of long-term value and how to protect it with smart processes and tools.
