You might be interested in this project from UNC-CH professor Terry 
Sullivan and Martha Kumar from Towson University:

www.whitehousetransitionproject.org

Begun in 1999 before Bush took office. Mission statement reads in part:

"The White House 2001 Project is a two-part program designed to provide 
new staff members with information associated with a successful start for 
a new White House team. It is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and 
associated with the American Enterprise Institute's initiative entitled 
Transition to Governing."

I think every group, organisation, etc has a problem with institutional 
memory. I'm just glad there are folks like these who try to work with 
everyone to ease transition periods. 

Cheers
