Explicit Intelligence

The word “explicit” derives from the word “explain”. When we talk of explicit intelligence, we imply that we can explain, record, transfer, and teach it. E.g., Tiger Woods knows how to hit a perfect golf shot. Yet, he can only teach and transfer this intelligence to others if he can explain and record it. Mostly, this is easier said than done. One of the aims of orgamatics is to reduce risk exposure by internalising intelligence into a process. But before we can do so, we must be able to explain such intelligence. This means that we must make it explicit. We use the symbol “Ie” to show explicit intelligence.
