Recruit T-Shaped People

Who are they?

Inquisitive people willing to try new things.

I heard the term from a friend of mine (a Prof in IIT, Delhi, India) last May. I read about it this morning in "The Ten Faces Of Innovation". I was Googling for "T-Shaped People". I came across this presentation.

I found more than what I wanted. A few perls from this presentation:

Design Is Never done

My Subject Isn't my Object

Insights come from observing the Market

Map Interactions to discover new Innovations

Find Patterns that yield Ideas
