Tacit Knowledge

At Tacit Consultancy we endeavour to use all three types of tacit knowledge to help you get the best from your business.

Relational tacit knowledge

Knowledge that is tacit because of the way people relate to each other. Sometimes people do not make their knowledge explicit because they do not know how to do so, other times, they do not make their knowledge explicit because they do not want to do so.

Somatic tacit knowledge

Knowledge that is tacit because it has to do with the human body. Think of executing a tennis backhand, playing a guitar, or riding a bicycle. This knowledge is tacit because it has to do with the embodied nature of the skill involved.

Collective tacit knowledge

Knowledge that is tacit because it is embedded in our social environment, and we do not know how to make it explicit in a way that doesn’t involve socialising.
