Meaning ● Tacit Knowledge Deficit in the context of Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) refers to the gap between the unwritten, experience-based knowledge held by employees and its availability to the organization as a whole. This deficiency hinders SMB growth, particularly during automation implementation, as critical operational insights remain locked within individual minds, impeding efficient process replication and scaling. Addressing this deficit requires strategic knowledge management to ensure that essential expertise is shared, documented, and accessible across the business to support robust growth initiatives.
