SECI Model
Combination: Explicit to
explicit
This is the simplest form.
Codified knowledge sources
(e.g. documents) are
combined to create new
knowledge. –it does not
extend the company’s
knowledge base
Internalization: Explicit to tacit
As explicit sources are used and
learned, the knowledge is
internalized, modifying the
user's existing tacit knowledge.
Socialization: Tacit to tacit
Knowledge is passed on
through practice,
guidance, imitation, and
observation.
Externalization: Tacit to
explicit
Tacit knowledge is codified
into documents, manuals,
etc. so that it can spread
more easily through the
organization.
