Key takeaways
- Explicit knowledge is codified and transferable, while tacit knowledge lives in intuition and experience.
- Examples like the operator who hears a failing bearing illustrate hard-to-articulate tacit knowledge.
- The SECI model describes how knowledge converts between tacit and explicit forms.
- SECI comprises Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization.
- Over-investing in documentation while neglecting tacit transfer is a common knowledge management mistake.
