This chapter explores knowledge management, focusing on the distinctions between tacit and explicit knowledge and their impact on organizations. The discussion highlights the challenges of hybrid work post-COVID-19 and advocates for fostering informal interactions over excessive codification to enhance knowledge sharing.
Enterprise Knowledge CEO Zach Wahl speaks with George Zedginidze, the Head of Knowledge Management at the Green Climate Fund (GCF). George shares his insights and experiences from his six-year tenure at GCF, discussing the critical distinction between tacit and explicit knowledge and the importance of creating relevant knowledge flows within organizations.
Zach and George discuss the challenges and strategies of managing knowledge in a hybrid work environment, emphasizing the need for careful spatial planning to promote collaboration. George also provides a candid perspective on why not all knowledge needs to be codified, and the importance of focusing on the value of enhancement rather than the cost of ignorance.
