Claim One:
1. A processor-implemented method of generating a recommendation for a worker to be included in a project team, the processor-implemented method comprising: determining a requisite skill set that will be needed at a future time by a project team, wherein the project team comprises workers on a project, and wherein the requisite skill set is not presently needed by the project team; receiving a set of binary historical data that describes antecedent conditions for a historical worker, wherein the set of binary historical data is received by a processor, and wherein the antecedent conditions have been predetermined to have caused the historical worker to obtain the requisite skill set; retrieving, by the processor, a candidate worker's skill set binary data that identifies a current skill set of a candidate worker; identifying skill set enhancers that are available to members of the project team; combining, by the processor, the current skill set of the candidate worker with the skill set enhancers to generate a predicted future skill set of the candidate worker; and in response to matching the requisite skill set to the predicted future skill set of the candidate worker, the processor generating a recommendation that the candidate worker be presently added to the project team.
