The Intelligence Advantage: Orchestrating Intelligence in the Age of AI

Chapter 11: The AI Knowledge Cycle

José Antonio Martínez Aguilar Season 1 Episode 12

The ultimate competitive advantage is the ability to learn and adapt faster than anyone else. To do this, organizations must integrate AI into the very core of their knowledge creation process.

This episode introduces the AI Knowledge Cycle (a transformation of the classic SECI model) and breaks down how an AI Collaborative Partner supercharges human expertise at every step, creating an Adaptive Intelligent Organization.

You will learn:

  • The Two Kinds of Knowledge: The difference between Tacit Knowledge ("know-how"—hard-won experience and intuition) and Explicit Knowledge ("know-that"—documented rules and manuals).
  • The Four-Step Supercharge: How AI plugs into and accelerates the four phases of the knowledge cycle:
    • Socialization: AI identifies experts and shared knowledge.
    • Externalization: AI helps articulate ideas, turning tacit knowledge into explicit models.
    • Combination: AI synthesizes vast amounts of data to create new knowledge.
    • Internalization: AI creates personalized simulations (like flight training) for rapid learning and embodying new skills.
  • The Intelligent Organization: The key elements required to facilitate this continuous Human-AI collaboration, ensuring your organization is built not just to operate, but to learn at maximum speed and scale.

The future of sustained success is built on how quickly and effectively you can move knowledge around this cycle.
