Knowledge legacy

Codifying knowledge – How do you define it?

Your knowledge is your most valuable asset. How do you define knowledge? Typically it is a unique blend of contextual information, values, and insights.

Broadly, they can be segregated into tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge, and it forms the framework upon which you can build new experiences.

The interplay between tacit and explicit knowledge is required to create new knowledge. Tacit knowledge is based on personal experiences and is uncodified. As Polanyi had said,

“We know more than we can tell.”

Knowledge legacy

Tacit knowledge vs Explicit knowledge

Tacit knowledge is essentially created as a result of the interactions between people and their surroundings.

On the other hand, explicit knowledge is the knowledge that can be easily codified and is readily available in the form of books, documents etc. Hence, most of our learning focus on explicit knowledge and disregards tacit knowledge. However, this is a colossal mistake!

The relevance of tacit knowledge

Charles Jennings, the former Chief Learning Officer of Reuters is the proponent of the 70:20:10 model. According to this model, 10% of the knowledge comes from formal training, 20% from informal training and 70% from on-the-job experience. It is that unique combination of 20% from social learning and 70% from hands-on learning that contributes to your tacit knowledge.

Few relevant examples of tacit knowledge include:

1. Best practices adopted by your team
2. Practical shortcuts utilized in your organization
3. Intuitions of a skilled individual
