Week 4

Tutorial 4
Today's tuto was fun. Miss Fatimah started by asking the dude with teh MMU Logo shirt to sit with his back to the wall. The task: Draw MMU Logo without any help from explicit materials.

So we began. Scott's photographic (but VERY selective) memory was able to recall the logo accurately from his tacit knowledge. Mine was accurate.. but 180 degrees off. Maybe I have reflective memory.. HAHA.

That particular task was to teach us about "Externalization" from Nonaka & Takeuchi's model. After that we did some questions about Socialization, Externalization, Combination and Internalization... Basically 4 different ways Tacit knowledge transfers to Explicit and vice versa.

Lecture 4

Today's lecture we're learning how to capture and codify the knowledge. Capturing knowledge is process of adding value to the original content. Converting knowledge into a tangible, explicit form (documents) so it can be communicated widely & less cost. Knowledge capture and codification are important because to it acknowledge knowledge contributors, remember to forget, avoiding significant loss of knowledge durinf transfer and the more tacit knowledge is, the more value it holds-greater competitive advantage.
