Knowledge needs a context in order to exist. The SECI model uses the term “ba” to describe the place or habitat where knowledge is created, shared and utilized. This place is where individuals can interact to recreate and amplify knowledge.

Socialization can take several forms within the organization. The outcome is to create an environment where tacit knowledge can flow between individuals.

• Shared experience• High-quality physical• Joint activities• Apprenticeship• Informal meetings• Transcend boundaries

Shared experienceHigh-quality physicalJoint activitiesApprenticeshipInformal meetingsTranscend boundaries

Socialization is the process of bringing together tacit knowledge through shared experiences.

..the key to acquiring tacit knowledge is to share the same experience

through joint activities. Apprentices learn their craft not through spoken

words or written textbooks but through observation and imitation …and

through practice. A rich environment and trust will allow tacit knowledge to

transcend individual boundaries.


7




Socialization: Originating ba is place were individuals sympathize or empathize with others, removing barriers between the self and others. From this “habitat” emerges care, love, trust, and commitment.

Crystallized sharable formEmbody skillsMetaphors, concepts Analogies to bridge Models to shape

Externalization is the process of articulating tacit knowledge into explicit form. In an explicit form knowledge becomes crystallized and shareable.

Externalization is key to create new, explicit concepts from tacit knowledge. A sequential use

of metaphors, analogies, and models are the keys to success. Meaning is discovered and

contradictions are harmonized into models that bridge image and logic.

The Externalization process is key because it create new concepts from tacit knowledge.

Externalization: Dialoguing ba is a place where individuals’ mental models and skills are converted (through peer interaction) into common terms and skills are converted into common terms and concepts.

Externalization is key to create new, explicit concepts from tacit knowledge. A sequential use

of metaphors, analogies, and models are the keys to success. Meaning is discovered and

contradictions are harmonized into models that bridge image and logic.

Explicit - Explicit Connecting Complex Systematic Workable plans Operationalized Disseminated Usability



Connecting

Combination is the process of connecting discrete elements of explicit knowledge into a set of explicit form that is more complex and systematic than any of the parts.

ComplexSystematicWorkable plansOperationalized DisseminatedUsability

The key outcome of this process is “on the ground” workable action plans and operationalized elements.

The three key sub-processes of combination are: collecting and

combining knowledge; disseminating among member; and editorially refining

the content for usability.

Combination: Systemizing ba is a virtual collaborative environment where explicit elements are combined to produce workable solutions for specific context.

Learning by doingBroadly shared Embodied in actionActualize concepts into practiceSimulation and experimentation trigger

The Internalization process is when organization is learning by doing and shares that knowledge throughout the organization. At this level knowledge becomes a competitive advantage.

The organization actualizes concepts into actions and training programs that embodies an understanding of the organization and the individuals operating within it.

Two key dimension of Internalization is that knowledge about concepts and strategies has been embodied into actions and practices, and

that these actions can be embodied through simulation or experimentation.

Internalization: Exercising ba is the place of active participation where patterns of action and thinking are continually stressed. This is a place of shared interaction of time and space where explicit knowledge is organizationally internalized.

Two key dimension of Internalization is that knowledge about concepts and strategies has been embodied into actions and practices, and

that these actions can be embodied through simulation or experimentation.

These ontological levels can be represented by the Spiral Dynamics model. When we apply the SECI spiral to the Spiral Dynamics levels of being, we see that each level of being learns and develops in its particular way.

The knowledge management system that generate, disseminate, and internalizes knowledge will need to accommodate a spectrum of communications channels that represent different levels of consciousness.

Classically through modeling, repetition, rhythm,

and storytelling

hands-on activities accompanied by

immediate, external reinforcement.

punishment.

Orange Expectancy learning is geared towards real-life

experiences, trial-and-error experimentation,

competitive games, case studies, and simulation.

Green Observational

reflection, interaction,

involvement, and attention to feelings…

Yellow Informational learning is self-paced and

tailored towards the needs and interests of the

particular individual. Rewards are intrinsicrather than extrinsic

Turquoise Experiential learning takes

place in a communal network that is both social and electronic –

involving a deeply felt sharing of

consciousness and insight

A 2nd tier ‘full spectrum’ learning

system will honor the channels of

communications and allow the organization

to internalize and embody its strategic

intent, tactical controls, and

operational power.
