Tacit knowledge refers to knowledge that can only be gained through experience, and which cannot easily be described in words or numbers. It is very difficult to convey, although it can be learned. Often, the only way to successfully teach it is experientially, the way a master imparts skills to an apprentice. When people say, “learn by doing,” they are often referring to the learning of tacit knowledge.
