Succession
Before someone leaves: capture, test, hand over.
Firnkern captures a person’s experience in conversation and turns it into task sheets with evidence. The successor tests it in daily work, management confirms the handover.
Telling instead of forms
The Kern asks, the knowledge holder tells – and where something is missing, it asks again.
The interview questions match the role type.
The conversation becomes a dossier
The conversation becomes task and fault sheets.
Each sheet only counts once the knowledge holder has released it.
The successor asks on the phone
The answer comes only from released sheets – every statement with evidence.
If nothing is written down, one click sends the question to the knowledge holder.
Management sees the status
Risk, phase and handover level per role – until it says “tested”.
Testing in levels, sign-off with evidence, handover record per role.
Real recordings from Firnkern (as of November 2026) in the sample company, “succession” mode – people and data are fictional.
How a company starts
- Create the roleManagement creates the role whose knowledge is to be captured and invites the knowledge holder and the successor.
- Tell and releaseThe Kern leads the conversation. The knowledge holder releases sheet by sheet.
- Test and confirmThe successor tests in daily work, in levels and with evidence. Management confirms the handover.
Honestly: relationships, feel and hand skills cannot be fully written down. That is why the successor tests in daily work and management confirms – Firnkern does not replace the time spent together.
