SECI is a model that shows how knowledge is transferred.
Socialization is from tacit to tacit, which means it's not known to all. Only the internal people knows about it. Externalization is from tacit to explicit. Internal information is then sent to the people outside the organization. Combination is explicit to explicit, making a known fact to all. Internalization is explicit to tacit, gathering information to inside the organization.
An example of a Externalization knowledge transfer will be through this blog. I can share what I learnt and what I think of the terms to the public just by typing in here and sharing the knowledge.
How tacit knowledge will benefit an organization?
Staff can blog about problems that they faced in work and helpline, so that when in future, other staff who encounters the same problem will just have to look through the archive of the blog to look for the solution. And with labels so easily in used nowadays, they can group their problems accordingly. This will save time and space for the company; staff will not need to keep asking and seniors will not need to keep answering the questions which are similar and no hardcopy need to be made.
