Developed by Ikujiro Nonaka, the SECI model of organizational knowledge describes a repeating loop of four activities that individuals in an organization undertake in order to create (202109060835 Knowledge is constructed), commemorate, and expand upon knowledge.1

  1. 202110231448 Socialization of knowledge
  2. 202110231449 Externalization of knowledge
  3. 202110231450 Combination of knowledge
  4. 202110231451 Internalization of knowledge

When the loop completes, it starts over again as the input to the next iteration. In this way it can be considered a 202110231515 Feedback loop.
