Tacit means ‘hidden’, tacit knowledge is knowledge hidden from the consciousness of the knower. Tacit knowledge resides in human brain and cannot be easily captured or codified (Wong and Radcliffe, 2000; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). Sveiby (1997) asserts that all our knowledge rests in a tacit dimension. Tacit knowledge expresses itself in human actions in form of evaluations, attitudes, points of view, conpetences, experiences and skills stored so deep in the worldview of an individual that it is often taken for granted (Koskinen et al, 2003). It can be observed through action.

Tacit means that which is unspoken, which cannot be described - like the tacit knowledge required to ride a bicycle. It is the actual knowledge, and it may be coherent or not. I am proposing that thought - to think - is actually a subtle tacit process. The concrete process of thinking is very tacit. The meaning is basically tacit. And what we can say explicitly is only a very small part of it. I think we all realise that we do almost everything by this sort of tacit knowledge. Thought is emerging from the tacit ground, and any fundamental change in thought will come from the tacit ground. So if we are communicating at the tacit level, then maybe thought is changing.

Tacit means ‘hidden’ and tacit knowledge is knowledge that is hidden from the knower’s conscious awareness. Tacit information is stored in the human brain and is difficult to capture or codify ( Wong and Radcliffe 2000; Nonaka and Takeuchi,1995). All human knowledge according to Sveiby (1997), exists in a tacit dimension. Tacit knowledge manifest itself in human activities as assessments, attitudes, point of view, competences, experiences, and talents that are so deeply embedded in a person’s world view that they are frequently taken for granted (Koskinen et al, 2003). It can be seen through action. It is critical to determine the qualities of experts as well as the learning process required to become an expert in this regard.
