ie a general question gets you an answer, that answer inspires the next question, and so on...
George Danner
Experienced, knowledgable workers will build the logic in cognitive systems that carry out critical functions; newer, less experienced workers will use and consume these systems, and...eventually, rebuild them.

A2: As the experienced core of supply chain teams retire, knowledge sharing is imperative. As an example, Watson's ability to create a Play Book may help facilitate knowledge transition.
