The moderators are tasked to encourage the interest and sharing of facts and opinions in the discussion without being rude or impolite to others. Moderators

Topic for discussion tonight: SUPPORTING KNOWLEDGE WORK

Subtopic1-- What is tacit knowledge. What is explicit knowledge. Can tacit knowledge become explicit? How?

Subtopic2-- Human capital refers to knowledge, skills, innovativeness of employees as well as company values, culture and philosophy. The enterprise may engage in knowledge creation-capture activities and knowledge absorption-reuse activities to gain from the pool of human capital (or intellectual capital) they have. Question--"How do we get people to have more knowledge in their heads?"

Subtopic3-- Is it possible for the enterprise to nurture a knowledge-sharing organization? How? or if you think it is doomed to be just a wishful item in the enterprise, what are the reasons why people would not participate in a knowledge-sharing endeavor?

Good luck! I'll be around tonight to listen. :)
