"You'll gradually learn the ropes. May take about a year but over
time, you'll come up to speed."
"The ropes" referred to in the preceding observation are the way
you need to do your business. The "coming up to speed" is the time it takes before
your worth to your organization is equal to or greater than what your organization
is paying you.
Organizations are adopting knowledge bases as a way to short
circuit the learning of "the ropes," but the same knowledge bases that are rich
with reference and historic information, such as client profiles or project
histories, hold few items that capture the nous, the savvy, the business "smarts"
that differentiate your proposal or product.
