Organizational knowledge-creating processes rely on tacit powers of knowing and creativity of organization members. This paper proposes an approach to utilize a systems methodology as a tool for cultivating and disseminating such powers. For the purpose we first devise an ideal type of organizational knowledge-creating processes. Then a systems methodology is updated by comparing it with the derived ideal type, and hence an application process of the updated systems methodology can be formally regarded as an organizational knowledge-creating process. Finally, it is shown that such a systems methodology may be utilized for disseminating tacit powers of talented persons as its users to organization members.
