Wow. What a 'personal knowledge' gift. This is not a 'punish by rewards or
gifts'?
I hope At don't mind this extra note. It might be about 40 years ago, F.
A. Hayek suggested to one of his Ph D students in Chicago Univ. that M.
Polanyi's "Personal Knowledge" is a good subject for a PhD dissertation.
Unfortunately, this proposal is out of the ken of that Chinese candidate.

When business consultants or writers borrowed some key words from the
original thinkers, most likely they become 'slogans' for magic
purposes.Perhaps some of OLers like to consult 'Decision Engineering'
chapter of James G. March's 'A Primer on Decision Making' for 'decision
intelligence' among other important subjects and some methodology
comments.

Have a very special seasoned experiencing.
