**Explicit - having recipe to read. Tacit - knowing how to make it** There are two categories of knowledge: Explicit and Tacit. Explicit Knowledge is expressed in words and numbers, easily stored and transferred. Explicit Knowledge is what’s baked into Standard Operation Procedures. Tacit Knowledge is your ********know how********. It’s personal, hard to share. Put differently: Explicit Knowledge = knowing _what_ to do. Tacit knowledge = knowing _how_ to do it. **** # More ## Source - [[Improvements in Existing Knowledge Management Practices in the Consumer Electronics Industry]] ## Related - [[Mere Exposure Effect]]
