We also discuss how preserving and sharing knowledge becomes crucial as we delve into the difficulties faced by young employees when critical information is lost due to a lack of documentation. We hear from David Kraus about the need to adapt and hire younger workers, emphasizing the transfer of tribal knowledge to maintain service quality.
Strategies for future growth are given. Including: broadening the base, anticipating supply chain challenges, and exploring onshoring opportunities. Energy efficiency is highlighted, along with the digitalization of tribal knowledge for accessible work processes and expertise.
