Knowledge sharing is the process through which explicit or tacit knowledge is communicated to other individuals.

Typical Examples of Knowledge Sharing:

• Writing books or research papers
• Delivering a lecture or making a speech or presentation
• Participating in a dialogue over coffee or lunch
• Participating in Communities of Practice
• Mentoring a new staff; shadowing an expert

Depending on whether explicit or tacit knowledge is being shared, exchange or socialization processes are used.

Exchange is used to communicate or transfer explicit knowledge among individuals, groups and organizations.
