Abstract

Difusing tacit knowledge, a transparent and subjective from of knowledge, needs an individual's ability to externalize and sharing of this knowledge by using the concepts of meta-abilities. The argument of this research is that meta-abilities develop individuals to externalize their tacit knowledge in the form of creative idea, actions, reactions and reflection. Documenting these externalized and shared knowledge can provide a basis to keep information system (IS) updated with relavant and reliable " best practices". From a discussion of this framework, it is concluded that the future focus for the diffusion of tacit knowledge should be toward an individual's meta-abilities development that develop creativity and interpretivity. There should also be an impetus towards creating the right organizational culture and infrastructure that promotes tacit knowledge sharing and externalization within and between employees.
