Abstract

Explicit knowledge can often be shared through textbooks, technical papers, instruction manuals, guides, and videos. It is normally objective, logical and technical. However, tacit (implicit) knowledge is any information or skills that arise from personal and professional experiences. It is often subjective, cognitive and experiential. When an individual leaves an organisation, they can take intellectual property with them that could compromise future operations, unless that knowledge is harvested. This brief review considers how transient knowledge might be retained in an organisation.
