Tacit vs. Explicit
Tacit'that part of knowledge that is so deeply buried
that you are unable to represent and share it'
ExplicitFully and clearly expressed; leaving nothing
implied.
Fully and clearly defined or formulated
Once you capture knowledge it becomes explicit

Allowing “Learning” & “Doing” to become interwoven
Doing things at internet speed Just in Time Learning (JITL)Minimize time gap from new hire to peak performance by
allowing training to occur when it’s needed within the process
Great information without knowing what to do with it is useless!
Implementing new processes on the fly through “doing and learning”
Finding information is just the beginning. Mapping cross functional teams to meet customer
requirements Incorporating collaboration
