Abstract

In an increasingly complex and competitive business environment, human capital remains one of an organization's most valuable resources. This paper explores the interaction between two key concepts for understanding and capitalizing on this capital: tacit knowledge and the theory of multiple intelligences. Building on Michael Polanyi's perspective that “we know more than we can say†, it explores how the types of intelligence identified by Howard Gardner can facilitate the transfer and application of tacit knowledge in organizations. The results indicate that integrating various forms of intelligence into organizational processes supports informal learning, collaboration and innovation, therefore contributing to sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, the research proposes a managerial approach that focuses on recognizing and capitalizing on individual abilities, offering suggestions for adapting recruitment and training processes. This humanizing perspective offers new directions for strengthening the performance and adaptability of contemporary organizations.
