Can you, as a leader, explain to someone what it is like to be a leader? Or how to create an innovative design? These are still tasks, because some aspects of this or that skill are difficult to convey orally or in writing. In such cases, we are talking about implicit knowledge.
- Use the online community
The bottom line is that their social nature implies the opportunity to learn a new skill in communicating with several people and discourses between participants, when questions are born and topics that can not be taken into account in the direct one-way communication of information.
Social networks are a more effective way of transferring tacit knowledge than individual interactions face to face, according to some educators. With the help of a collaboration platform, each person becomes a node in the knowledge distribution network, increasing their ability to pass on other implicit information to others.
- Visualize how you carry out your work
If you want to convey an implicit knowledge, then show on a personal example how you can perform a job or demonstrate your skill. This strategy requires going beyond surface procedures to deeper aspects of human experience.
Another approach: take a sheet of paper and write about everything that you do. Sharing enough information about how you do the work, you can make students feel, recognize and acquire implicit knowledge.
- Learn to tell stories
Now we are witnessing a storytelling boom. You can find many articles, podcasts and videos about the meaning of stories and how the human brain reacts to them. They are used in business, advertising, training and many other areas.
You should not be surprised that stories are considered an effective way to capture attention and transmit implicit knowledge. They transform information, allow you to understand the context. The main thing is the meaning, not the facts.
