Abstract

Implicit and tacit knowing, based on intuition and experience-based learning both of the individual and collective wisdom are crucial in business, science—and in the field of art. Once developed systematically, intuition and experiential learning open up potentials rarely used in business and science. This paper proposes to take into account the ‘tacit dimension’ and it’s built-in patterns for sustainable entrepreneurship. Patterns of tacit knowing are frequently used to make things work in entrepreneurial communities and organizations. ‘Implicit wisdom’ (Dewey, Polanyi) based on ‘intuition’ or experience-based ‘deep smarts’ (Leonard), are known to be crucial for successful change especially in unpredictable and ambiguous settings. Based on this, the paper calls for a truly transdisciplinary format which is integrating natural science, social science and the arts (music, dance, theatre, visual arts) in order to affect the entrepreneurial mindsets and ways of thinking for our current and future leaders, decision makers and entrepreneurs. An experience-based and creative knowing will be able to reveal and teach the tacit knowing patterns we need to develop to go for the next steps toward sustainability.
