FEATURED EDITORIAL

Forget Tech Transfer. You Need A Cognitive Connection

Cognitive transfer is a concept widely studied in psychology. Today it has growing relevance within our industry’s ever-increasing technology transfers, which have been understood in the main as moving development/manufacturing processes/technologies from one stage, one location, or one organization – as when utilizing CDMOs – to another. Time now to zero in on the communicating of tacit or implicit knowledge, i.e., knowledge or experience difficult to extract through data or written explanation. This is where cognitive transfer enters our portal. Here's an analysis.
