Welcome

Throughout our working lives we gain invaluable knowledge, experience and expertise that contribute to the overall performance of our workplace and indeed the broader economy. In these challenging times, this knowledge is more valuable than ever, and just because you reach the statutory age of retirement does not mean your worth to the modern economy is redundant. www.silentknowledge.eu is an online community that offers retirees, a way to contribute and share tacit knowledge.

  • As a user, you can contact experts from the themed Knowledge Zones.
  • As an expert, you can share your knowledge through discussions, blogs and articles.

If you need some tactical advise to help develop yourself, your business or organisation, register and ask the experts their opinion.

There are 6 knowledge zones;

Whats the benefit?

Older peoples know-how supports the growth and development of younger generations as well as nascent and early stage entrepreneurs. Experts choose which knowledge zone they want to participate in and members enter the knowledge zone they need advice from.

Silent Knowledge is expanding its database of retired experts who are willing to provide mentoring/ expert services on a part time basis to companies and organizations which can benefit from their experience. Costs for this service are locally negotiable, with many experts offering their tacit knowledge for free.
