contents <p>Purpose – This paper identifies encounter—the event of meeting something other than oneself—as<br>the specific mechanism within ba that drives Nonaka and Takeuchi's SECI knowledge spiral. It<br>proposes dSECI (event-driven SECI), which treats each encounter as the trigger for knowledge<br>conversion. Independently, it provides the first systematic SECI analysis of Scrum and Extreme<br>Programming as multi-scale knowledge creation architectures.<br>Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper. It draws on Shimizu's philosophy of<br>ba, the SECI critical literature, software architecture principles (event-driven streaming), empirical<br>research on serendipitous knowledge sharing, and practitioner literature on Scrum and XP to develop<br>the dSECI framework and the SECI analysis of agile practices.<br>Findings – Three necessary conditions for productive encounter are identified: depth of prior<br>internalization, intensity of interaction, and heterogeneity between partners. Scrum events map<br>directly onto SECI conversion modes at macro timescales; XP practices extend this to micro<br>timescales. The shu-ha-ri progression reveals that structured SECI operationalization (Scrum) and<br>event-driven SECI (dSECI) are developmental stages, not alternatives. Practical guidance is provided<br>for designing knowledge systems that drive the SECI cycle through structured stock, continuous<br>sharing flow, intellectual combat, and self-efficacy as foundation.<br>Originality/value – dSECI identifies the driving mechanism that Nonaka, von Krogh, and Voelpel<br>(2006) acknowledged was "empirically under-explored" within ba. The SECI analysis of Scrum<br>explains, for the first time in knowledge management terms, why these globally adopted practices<br>succeed and why they fail when reduced to ritual. The practical implications offer managers an<br>actionable framework for designing knowledge creation systems.</p>
