Abstract
Global concern about the aging population is currently focused on "baby boomers," whose retirement removes significant experience from government and industry. This paper considers how project managers in the baby boomer generation can transfer knowledge to future generations by building internet resources and serious computer games that suit the learning styles of today's young professionals, as well as using classic techniques of mentoring and university training. These steps address the primary business issue posed by baby boomer retirement, as well as establishing the foundation for solving a systemic problem in the project management profession, that of effectively passing on accumulated knowledge.
