Nonaka and Takeuchi's SECI Model

The SECI Model by Nonaka and Takeuchi explains how organizations create knowledge through a dynamic process involving four steps: Socialization (sharing tacit knowledge through direct interaction), Externalization (converting tacit knowledge into explicit forms like documents), Combination (systematically mixing different explicit knowledge), and Internalization (absorbing explicit knowledge into tacit understanding through practice). This cyclical process helps organizations innovate and adapt by continuously transforming knowledge between explicit and implicit forms, fostering learning and collaboration.
