orgnesia

/ˌɔːɡˈniːʒə/nounVerified New

Work & Economy

An organization's recurring inability to remember what was learned before the last reorganization.

The post-mortem from 2023 is filed under a team name that no longer exists; the same mistake is rediscovered in 2026 with genuine excitement. Orgnesia is why institutional memory has to live in documents rather than org charts — and why it usually doesn't.

Etym. — org (organization) + -nesia (as in amnesia): corporate forgetting as a chronic condition.

Rel. — goalnesia
