As we know organization must convert tacit knowledge that its employee have into codified/explicit knowledge so in can be a part of organizational knowledge. Its already discussed in detail in Nonaka's SECI Framework. But we also know that it is impossible to convert all tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge like Dave Snowden show in his 3 heuristics. Is there any methodology to reduce this effect? Or in the words to increase percentage of tacit to explicit conversion?
Thank you Mila Ilieva
. I think it will connected to my other question, how tacit knowledge is stored within the fabric of social network. Which is actually work better to capture a human tacit knowledge?
The Nonaka and Takeuchi model (1995) is still valid; only the techniques used in the "socialization " process to convert tacit knowledge to explicit may vary from one context to another. I feel that is the area that requires skills.
If 80% of knowledge is unwritten and largely unspoken, we first need to elicit that before we can articulate, share, and make wider use of it. Knowledge harvesting is one way to draw out and package tacit knowledge to help others adapt, personalize, and apply it; build organizational capacity; and preserve institutional memory.
Article Harvesting Knowledge
What a great paper Olivier Serrat . I think its like artificially induce a situation that enable people to give their knowledge to be codified. But in the other hand that situation is frequently appear in day to day life, and people inadvertently transfer their knowledge in tacit to tacit mode. Therefore storing their knowledge in the fabric of social network (real life social network) itself. I dont know, maybe that more efficient than converting tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge
Quite true Joseph Kipkorir Cheruiyot , and it is compounded by problem that not all tacit knowledge can be identified and therefore converted into explicit one.
Agree Hermann Gruenwald , it will artificially create a situation that enable them to articulate their tacit knowledge. But again, as Dave Snowden says, you cannot force a person to surrender their knowledge, so it will be a balance between a force and creating a situation so they can give their knowledge willingly
Sigit Setiawan, if you look at my paper you will find an interesting conclusion: that checklists are the most simple and efficient way to store and actually use in big corporations.
Nurturing Knowledge Ecologies, a project at https://www.researchgate.net/project/Nurturing-Knowledge-Ecologies, highlights with 84 articles, books, conference papers, data sets, presentations, and technical reports ways in which knowledge ecologies can be powered by knowledge harvesting and sharing, social reminiscence, and narrative techniques.
Thank you very much Olivier Serrat . I will read them, and at glance I already spotted several very good paper on this topic.
