Contextual Intelligence: Leveraging Learning and Tacit Knowledge

In this episode of the Contextual Intelligence Podcast, Dr. Matt discusses leveraging learning as a part of his series on the three meta-skills of a contextually intelligent thinker. He delves into the idea of 'tacit knowledge', a knowledge that is context- and experience-dependent and often subconscious and implicit. The episode goes on to explore the role of explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, highlighting how most of our knowledge, decisions and behaviors are based on tacit knowledge. Dr. Matt also introduces the concepts of analogical reasoning and vicarious experience as ways to leverage learning, and explains how innovating attitudes and behaviors play into handling learning and tacit knowledge. The episode concludes with an overview of how tacit knowledge, intuition, and wisdom relate to each other and the importance of understanding why we think what we think and behave the way we do.
