Hello,
I am in urgent need of a Knowledge Transfer Template. If any format is available, I am a new employee in the LnD domain and taking over from a current employee. There is no format available in the company; they do it over a call. If I get all the handover in written format, it will be easy for me to work efficiently.

Hello, I am in URGENT need of some Knowledge Transfer Templates if any format is available. I have moved to an L&D Consultancy; earlier, I was in an HR generalist role. As this area is new, I don't know what questions to ask and don't want to have any problems later. As I am taking over from a current employee, there is no format available in the company; they do it over a call. If I get all the handover in written format, it will be easy for me to work efficiently. Please help.

Sit down with the person you are taking over from.
Using the position description outlining the duties required, work through them one by one asking him/her to detail how they do the required tasks. Write it out in bullet point fashion so you can follow it correctly once the person has left.
Ask about processes and procedures, suppliers of services, useful contacts, etc.
This is not hard. You don't need someone else's form from an organization which may do things totally differently from your organization.
Once you are up and running in the job, start to prepare a manual of how to do the job. That way, when it is your turn to hand over to the next person, all the work is done.

Dear Gkasture,
This is in addition to what Mr. John has written. You may sit with the outgoing employee and list out:
a) the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly activities done by him/her
b) understand the department-specific issues
c) understand the forms and templates to be used, why they are used and when they are used
d) understand how the soft data is stored and where it is stored. Obtain a complete list of the handover.
e) understand how the hard copies are stored and where these are stored. Obtain a complete list of the handover.
f) are there customer/client related issues
g) are you supposed to know any financial matters
h) do you need to know issues related to the government or the semi-government authorities
i) to succeed in your job, what should be the focus of your activities?
j) were there incidents of customer dissatisfaction and if yes, why?
k) what about the idiosyncrasies of the employees or top management you will deal with
Additionally, verbally ask him/her the mindset of the managers and other employees working in your department or other departments. What are their likes and dislikes? Who is cooperative and who is not-so-cooperative?
I hope, if you get the above information, then it is sufficient.
All the best!

Dear Madam,
As an L&D professional, your and your outgoing colleague's job is to design need-based, value-added learning interventions across the board for all types of employees and effectively deliver them.
Towards this aim, it may be worthwhile to understand from your outgoing colleague how he has gone about assessing learning needs - skill, knowledge, and attitude gaps, and how he went about developing programs based on it. What methodology was used to seek participants' feedback, and how the top management is assessing the initiatives.
Learning initiatives are not destinations but a journey of continuous improvement. So, build on the efforts already made and keep adding value through your innovation, be it in need assessment, design, training pedagogy, and feedback mechanism. Your guiding light should intrinsically align with the organization's dynamic needs and pressures from time to time. That will be a crucial success factor and a continuous challenge for you.
I have shared some general thoughts and have not confined them to your specific query.
