2:00pm-3:00pm SOUL is a Knowledge Management platform that takes advantage of digital transformation, professional expertise and social collaboration to transfer knowledge throughout an organization to internal and external stakeholders. SOUL Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps students speed up their learning through customized reinforcement experiences. Management also benefits from Big Data techniques to discover trends and key insights from the learning process in the organization. Through machine learning, SOUL can help managers find out "training gaps" or hidden talent in the company. SOUL allows and encourages the integration and use of innovative e-learning materials, serious games, 3D models, virtual reality and high-level interactive tools, thus enhancing flexible learning while minimizing training cost and time. Focusing on improving the knowledge transfer experience, SOUL provides a cost-effective solution for knowledge management that creates an exciting learning environment that engages the users, improving the results. 3:00pm-3:30 pm: The continued viability of Palo Verde requires a streamlined ”Maintaining The Plant” process that does not diminish nuclear safety or equipment reliability. NEI Efficiency Bulletin 17-23 implementation is intended to result in plant maintenance being performed in a highly efficient manner that will improve plant productivity and maintain equipment reliability at expected levels, all at a reduced cost. This is being achieved through innovation, automation, and elimination within existing processes.
