Are you and your team members\u00a0future proof? Deep knowledge only (I-shaped) experts are on their way out: specific knowledge can be bought. Experts with both in-depth expertise\u00a0and broad general knowledge and skills however, are in demand. These are the T-Shaped Professionals, who combine their knowledge with\u00a0both strong right and left brain skills, and the know-how to balance those effectively.<\/h3>\n

\"T-shaped,In the current, rapidly changing, service and experience focused, globalizing work environment it is no longer enough to be a one-trick pony: to have a specific expertise which you apply in a specific setting, for years. So say amongst others leading innovation and design firm IDEO CEO\u00a0Tim Brown, bestselling author\u00a0Daniel Pink and a range of international consultancy agencies and\u00a0universities.<\/p>\n

T-shaped Professional explained<\/h3>\n

The T-shaped concept is a metaphor for the depth and breadth in\u00a0an individual’s skills set. The vertical bar on the \u2018T\u2019 represents the depth of skills and expertise in a single field.\u00a0The horizontal crossbar represents the ability to collaborate across disciplines with experts in other areas\u00a0and to apply knowledge in fields\u00a0of expertise other than one\u2019s own. For people\u00a0who don’t have a background in (applied) social sciences or HR, this usually means fathoming the complementary, ‘soft’, right brain skills of e.g.: communication, empathy, team building, negotiation, leadership, creativity and the ability to collaborate. Combined with\u00a0a\u00a0thorough\u00a0understanding of ME (knowing who I am and where I want to go).<\/p>\n

Custom made program<\/h3>\n

Having been working as T-shaped experts, consultants, trainers and coaches\u00a0in several fields ourselves for years, we know how to combine both deep expertise and broad knowledge in practice. And how to transfer that to you and your team. We will be happy to tailor make a program that specifically meets your goals, your needs and your learning styles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We have been working as and with managers, lawyers,\u00a0econometricians, risk managers, auditors, designers, IT\u00a0and\u00a0internet professionals. As well as and with people with other staff and business positions. Marketers, sales agents and communication professionals, for instance.<\/p>\n

What the experts say about the value and importance of T-shaped Professionals:<\/h3>\n<\/div>
People who are T-shaped are well-rounded and versatile. They are better able to contribute their ideas to a discussion and are able to take on a variety of roles.<\/q><\/blockquote>
<\/span>Tim Brown, CEO leading innovation and design firm IDEO<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
People who own right-brain qualities, will rule in this century. Everything else can be done better or cheaper by means of a computer or someone in a lower-wage country.<\/q><\/blockquote>
