Meetup - Rediscovering Takeuchi & Nonaka: Exploring Knowledge Co-Creation in Teams

​Presented by Francis Laleman

​​An experiential workshop in which we explore four distinct planes (S-E-C-I) of knowledge and skill sharing, the layered coexistence of which builds the foundation of a learning organization, with room for embedded streams of solutions-focus and creative innovation.

​​SECI was first proposed by Nonaka Ikujiro (1990) and later refined in collaboration with Takeuchi Hirotaka (1995). After the seminal paper The New New Product Development Game (1986), in which Nonaka-San and Takeuchi-San had been the first to describe an embryonic shape of what we know today as Scrum, SECI was the second stage in their long-lasting academic research and business school teaching collaboration.

​​In this short workshop veteran trainer, facilitator, and educationist Francis Laleman helps us physically explore spaces, touch the in-betweens (aidagara) of social constructivism and the Japanese philosopher Watsuji Tetsuro, move about in search of connections, and propose SECI solutions beyond the original framework.

​​Thirty years after its initiation, is SECI alive or dead? Is there more SECI, or LeSS? Leave the workshop with new ideas of what SECI can do for your teams, your practices, your organization.
