-
Collaboration allows for the sharing of non-verbalized tacit knowledge (knowledge management terminology).
-
There is a well-known misconception that “communalization” means physically getting together.
- The image is generalized because of famous examples of implementation, such as camps
-
The key element for tacit knowledge sharing to occur is “being able to observe the behavior of others.
-
Before the development of ICT technology, “being able to observe the behavior of others” = “being in the same place”.
-
Even remote areas can benefit from co-location.
- Of course, being in the same place is more informative.
- but the cost of creating a state of being in the same place is also high.
- Taking low-cost measures as a small start is also an option.
-
Example
- Multiple remote people working on a project with a high degree of discretion
- Able to observe actions taken by a person (e.g., tools chosen at discretion, people contacted, etc.)
- There is learning for the participants.
