From Know-How to Know-What
Two questions: how companies turn tacit knowledge into explicit advantage (Toyota, AI-based remote sensing), and how open innovation speeds up R&D (Apple, VinFast) — plus a deep-dive case on Planet Labs and a closing discussion on supply-chain resilience.
Open the slidesWhat's covered
Tacit → Explicit knowledge
Toyota's Takumi craftsmen encoded into Jidoka sensors and Andon alerts; expert meteorologists' judgment encoded into labeled data for a deep-learning forecasting model. Framed with Nonaka & Takeuchi's SECI cycle.
Open innovation in R&D
Apple as a systems integrator (Siri from SRI, FaceID from PrimeSense, the App Store); VinFast's global partner network (Pininfarina, BMW, ProLogium) and the absorptive-capacity challenge that comes with it.
Deep-dive & discussion
Planet Labs' "agile aerospace" swarm of CubeSats versus the traditional exquisite satellite, extended into HPC for climate modeling, IoT/Edge AI for supply-chain monitoring, and agent-based modeling for systemic risk — closing on an open group question: does HPC or IoT build the stronger resilience moat?
