6.2.3 Sharing Experience for Team Strategy

Yesterday, engineering is individual-product-based. But today, products are designed and produced as teams. Thus, experience has been discussed on an individual basis until today, but today not only machines, but we also work together as a team to cope with the rapidly increasing complexity and complicatedness. Therefore, we must consider how we can share experience among team members. Sharing experience among human team members is an imminent task today.

Knute Rockne, famous American football player and coach, left a famous word “11 Best, Best 11.” He pointed out that the best team cannot be made by 11 best players. To make up the best team, 11 players who understand the strategy and work together for the team are needed.” He demonstrated by bringing University of Notre Dame to the ever-winning team.

As I used to be a soccer player, let me explain by taking soccer as an example. Yesterday, players were expected to do their best in their own positions, because situations did not change during the game, so the formation did not change. But today, situations change frequently during the game, so now midfielders become playing managers.

Yesterday, managers could give instructions from outside of the pitch. But today, only players know the current situation. As a midfielder can understand the flow of the whole game, he became a playing manager. Now a manager is on the pitch (Fig. 6.1).
