ENGINEERING “VERSATILISTS”
“Enterprises that focus on technical aptitude alone will fail to align workforce performance with business value… Instead, they need to build a team of versatilists who build a rich portfolio of knowledge and competencies to fuel multiple business objectives.”
SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS
The word “engineer” has its roots in the Latin word ingeniator, which means “ingenious, to devise in the sense of construction, or craftsmanship”. Other words related to ingeniator include “ingenuity”.
