Talent development is key to organizations keeping pace with the
rapidly changing social and technological developments of today's
workplace. Companies are calling for talent that possesses a
mastery of discipline and systems, combined with an ability to
handle cross-functional, multicultural teams, projects, and
assignments. Colleges and universities face challenges in preparing
students across all the competency dimensions employers demand. The
T-model configures academic and professional development in a way
that allows institutions to provide students with a solid
foundation, one built through rich academic and co-curricular
experiences that allow them to grow and adapt to the evolving
workplace. The T-model comprises five key elements: mastery of
academic discipline, system understanding (systems thinking),
boundary spanning competencies, interdisciplinary understanding,
and a strong sense of self (the ME of the T). In this volume,
readers are introduced to the dynamics of the workplace that
generate the need for T-professionals, followed by discussion of
each of the five key elements of the T-model. Readers are then
introduced to and shown how representatives from different segments
of higher education infuse the T-model across the curriculum. The
book's final section offers insights from industry professionals on
the necessity to grow as a T, once a new graduate enters the
workforce.
