Reliance on Tacit Knowledge

				                Reliance on Tacit Knowledge

													Not only is difficult to monetize, is difficult to understand  as well. We know that it exist, and it is the most of the knowledge. It is imposible to translate in words and numbers, so it is only attended by academics and experts, but not by business executives.

				                Reliance on Tacit Knowledge

													Tacit knowledge is key in any organization that is determined to succeed. Though difficult to imitate some part can be gradually robbed off through appropriate coaching and mentoring over a period of time.
