Organizational Learning involves making tacit theories of action explicit so that people can become aware of, critically examine, and change them. In order to make use of knowledge assets and to manage knowledge creation and exploitation. Effectively organizations must be able to identify and quantify these resources. A knowledge-sharing organization systematically learns from its mistakes and builds on its successes. Capturing means recording lessons learned from an experience or event Validation ensures that captured knowledge is presented truthfully, correctly, and in a professional and accessible manner. Formatting involves applying a common, consistent, and user-friendly presentation standard, or format, to all users Significance/ Implications: In order to make use of knowledge assets and to manage knowledge creation and exploitation. Effectively organizations must be able to identify and quantify these resources.
