Knowledge Transfer as a Change Agent Strategy in Community Empowerment

Abstract

Knowledge transfer is a strategy that can be used by change agents in empowering communities. Agents of change are empowering actors who play a role in carrying out planned changes in society. The knowledge transfer process carried out by change agents is inseparable from the obstacles that hinder the process of achieving empowerment goals. The obstacles faced are related to the public's trust in agents of change, differences in culture and language, methods and techniques for transferring knowledge, and the process of transferring knowledge through the SECI model (Socialization, Externalisation, Combination, and Internalization). For this reason, change agents need to understand strategies that can be implemented to deal with these obstacles.
