Exercising Ba

Exercising ba supports the internalisation phase. Exercising ba facilitate the conversion of explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge. Focused training with senior mentors and colleagues consists primarily of continued exercises that stress certain patterns and working out of such pattern. Rather than teaching based on analysis, learning by continuous self-refinement through on job training or peripheral and active participation is stressed. Thus the internalisation of knowledge is continuously enhanced by the use of formal knowledge (explicit) in real life or simulated applications.

The SECI model that correspond to Exercising Ba is Internalization.
