The document discusses a Delphi study examining knowledge transfer between baby boomer and Generation X aerospace engineers. The study found barriers to knowledge transfer include heavy workload and lack of trust. Optimal knowledge transfer occurred through social relationships and mentoring. Strategies identified to enhance transfer include pairing engineers, teamwork, communication, and management support of mentoring programs and a knowledge-sharing culture. The study provides implications for leadership to mitigate barriers and facilitate intergenerational knowledge transfer.
