Explicit & Tacit Knowledge Iceberg Infographic

The PowerPoint template of Explicit & Tacit Knowledge Iceberg Infographic presents knowledge management concepts using iceberg metaphor. An iceberg analogy is used to describe various concepts where only small part of a much larger idea is visible. For example, an iceberg of success, culture, psychology, and organizational behavior. The explicit and tacit knowledge could ideally be explained using the similar analogy of iceberg. This presentation uses the vector-based infographic shape of an iceberg to visualize comparison of explicit and tacit knowledge.

Knowledge management is divided into two major types in terms of knowledge transfer i.e. tacit and explicit. Tacit knowledge is what individuals experience through expertise and job know-how. Such as education, attitude, insights, and intuitions about context-specific issues. Whereas, explicit knowledge is a piece of well-documented information for performing certain actions. These may include user manuals, databases, records, and procedure guidelines. The tacit knowledge is personal to each individual’s capacity and experience but explicit knowledge can easily be shared and employed. In the iceberg model, explicit knowledge is a tip of the iceberg that can be seen. For example, a book or document. On the other hand, tacit knowledge is hidden below the surface and cannot be seen.

The PowerPoint template of Explicit & Tacit Knowledge Iceberg Infographic is useful for organizational knowledge management. It will help distinguish between what can be seen or not in terms of skill learning. This helps develop organization’s knowledge transfer process. The diagram template of explicit & tacit knowledge shows iceberg model and sources of knowledge that fall in each category. You can download this slide for team building and process development presentation. It will encourage viewers to collaborate and share knowledge.
