HSSE 2014 (2nd International Conference on Human Side of Service Engineering) is held from 7/19 to 23 in 2014 at Krakow.

HSSE-2014 Session:  Developing Talent (Adaptive Innovators) for the Service Science Enterprise

Description:   The “T-shaped professional” has served as a metaphor for the type of professional talent needed to propel the service science enterprise.  Our challenge now is to advance of our understanding of the T-shaped or adaptive innovator through empirical studies on the development of and professional advancement of these professionals.  The characteristics and experiences required for T-development will vary depending on the career stage of individuals from pre-professional, early careerists to mid-career.  This session will explore T-shaped professionals at various career stages.  Participants will also discuss the gaps in research that need to be addressed.
