The problem addressed in this study was the lack of insight into the development and conveyance of explicit knowledge. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the development of explicit knowledge and the process for the conveyance of this knowledge to enable it to become organizational in its composition. The theoretical framework presented a fundamental principle that people develop knowledge in a cyclic manner. To understand this phenomenon the study focused on two questions: (a) understanding how explicit knowledge was developed, and (b) how it conveyed across organizational levels during a Lean implementation. The research used a qualitative case study and grounded theory in an exploratory environment set in the context of a planned organizational change. The research centered on the process innovation and strategic change of a Lean implementation that took place at a manufacturing company (MC) involving 110 employees. The data was gathered from 21 interviews, documents, literature reviews, and observations. Several theories were compared with the data to propose a research model offering additional clarification of this phenomenon. The data were subject to rigorous content analysis through open, axial, selective, and conditional coding. The findings of this study became clear: co-creating explicit knowledge in an organization is a powerful social tool that offered the potential for reuse of that knowledge in other situations in the company, with supply chain partners, and among the employees themselves. The discovered phenomenon of Social Environmental Interaction (SEI) aided the conveyance and development of knowledge, increased organization survivability, benefitted management practices, and enhanced the social environment of the people by furthering job and community security.
