                       Today, We have good news from our lecturer. We have a guest, His name is Dr.Ruzaimi Mat Rani. Who is he? that is my first question when I heard his name. Maybe he is a famous guy in Malaysia,
That's why I am so excited in class today. What will he teach me? Can he inspired or motivation to me?.................After 5 minutes, I said "wowww!!" he is a nice guy. He have many experience in k-economy and today, he gonna share his knowledge with us.

He has been PhD of Visual Impact Assessment in Multimedia University since 2012. He has written a lot of books about how to sketching and drawing in easy ways such as "Sketching Basics, one point perspective" and "Sketching MasterClass". Everybooks, he wrote begin with the beginning of landscape picture, easy to follow and easy to understand.


                      Moreover, He share an excellent experience and itinerary in publishing his book to the world in our class. What was inspired him to publishing the book, He said "I love to sketch anything related to built environment and I was thinking If I die tomorrow, my knowledge will have gone with me.". So, he start writing the book and share his knowledge in his book as well. He gave us a nice tips on how to share knowledge and get your book published. "How can we write and publish the book?" my classmate asked him, He answer "Just start writing!!!". "Nice answer" I thought.

Where is Knowledge???

Explicit, Implicit and Tacit Knowledge

In the KM literature, knowledge is most commonly categorized as either explicit or tacit (that which is in people's head). This characterization is however rather too simple. but a more important point, and criticism, is that it is misleading. A much more nuanced and useful characterization is to describe knowledge as explicit, implicit, and tacit.

Explicit : Information or knowledge that is set out in tangible form.
Implicit : Information or knowledge that is not set out in tangible form but could be made explicit.
Tacit : Information or knowledge that one would have extreme difficulty operationally setting out in tagible form.

The danger of the explicit-tacit dichotomy is that by describing knowledge with only two categories, i.e.,explicit, that which is set out in tangible form, and tacit, that which is within people, is that it then becomes easy to think overly simplistically in terms of explicit knowledge, which calls for "collecting" KM methodologies, and tacit knowledge, which calls for "connecting" KM methodologies, and to overlook the fact that, in many cases, what may be needed is to convert implicit tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, for example the after action reports and debriefings described below.
