Same problem as making sure your system doesn't lose data when a server dies. Make sure you have enough copies of the knowledge by propagating it between people. Try to have some kind of offline recording (books?) for recovery from a disaster where you lose everyone. Have an idea of how to recover at a business level if you do lose the data forever.

The trouble is making sure these plans actually work. This is why Netflix randomly execute some of their employees every month.

I certainly hope this practice doesn't start catching on with other employers.

Would that be their King Kong application?
