Lifting tacit knowledge from the depths

Despite the evolution of many processes in the economy, the impact on people remains minimal. This is particularly relevant when it comes to customers, as a significant proportion of them are aged over 40. While the digital world is rapidly expanding, it is crucial to acknowledge that experiences gained outside of it remain valuable over time. It‘s essential to preserve these experiences, as they form an invaluable resource for the future. Additionally, people of all ages continue to gain new experiences each day, which augment their existing knowledge base.

Experience is not something to be treated like useless clutter that can only be sold for a quick profit on a television show. Rather, it is akin to the act of tying our shoes - a skill that allows us to access important knowledge when we need it most. At our consulting firm, we excel at unearthing these valuable experiences, which we refer to as ‚tacit knowledge‘, and bringing them to the surface for everyone to benefit from. So don‘t underestimate the power of experience - it could be the key to unlocking your next big breakthrough. After analyzing the entrepreneur‘s substantial experience, we determine which experiences will be most beneficial in a leadership role. We venture to the basement not for organization purposes, but to identify which boxes contain valuable items that can aid in day-to-day business operations. It‘s comparable to a joyful family gathering.

During festive occasions, the good china and crystal glasses are brought out of storage for a glamorous table setting. Once the celebration ends, they are carefully repacked and returned to the basement. Similarly, as winter clothes are retrieved from the cellar after a snowfall, tacit knowledge must also be unearthed from the depths of our memory. It is crucial to make such knowledge explicit, so that it may be utilized effectively.

We want to use an example from a movie to show you how important it is to bring implicit knowledge into consciousness.
