The Trifecta of Knowledge Flow: Clarity, Relevance, and Experience

Abstract

Knowledge is the lifeblood of any organization. Its effective flow, from generation to application, determines innovation, efficiency, and ultimately, success. However, simply possessing knowledge isn't enough. For knowledge to truly fuel an organization, it must flow freely and efficiently. This paper explores three key factors—clarity, relevance, and experience—that significantly influence knowledge transfer and minimize Knowledge Friction, a concept introduced by Nissen (2017) to explore their relevance in enabling action using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated emails.
