Tacit knowledge
The concept of tacit knowing comes from scientist and philosopher Michael Polanyi.
By definition, tacit knowledge is not easily shared. One of Polanyi's famous aphorisms is: "We know much more than we can tell."

- the difficulty inherent in knowledge transfer that subject matter experts & key knowledge holders may not be able to communicate and describe what they know
