- Explicit Knowledge
This refers to information that is formalized, documented, and stored in procedures, manuals, and databases. Because it is codified, explicit knowledge is relatively easy to record and transfer.> - Tacit Knowledge
This refers to insights, experiences, and skills that are difficult to express in written form. Tacit knowledge often resides in the minds of specialists and is shared primarily through in-person interaction, practice, and observation.>
