effectively in face-to-face encounter.

“By its nature, tacit knowledge is difficult to convert into explicit knowledge. Through conceptualization, elicitation, and ultimatelyarticulation, typically in collaboration with others, some proportion of a person's tacit knowledge may be captured in explicit form. Typical activities in which tacit knowledge is captured as the first step towards the conversion are in dialog among team members, in responding to interview questions or through the elicitation of stories.”
