Question

What types of knowledge exists and which type of training is linked to them?


Answer
  • Tacit (Implicit) Knowledge <-> Informal training
  • Explicit Knowledge <-> Formal training

Both are important and compliment each other.

  • Tacit (Implicit) Knowledge: Personal Knowledge on how to do certain things in a specific way, based on experience, hard to codify and transmit

  • Informal training: Done while working, inexplicitly transferred by a co-worker, not in a formal setting

  • Explicit Knowledge: Well documented, easily articulated and transferable

  • Formal training: Led by an instructor, courses, events: formal setting
