Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World EST: 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00
What's the most effective path to success in any domain? It's not what you think. Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. In this complimentary Gartner video Q&A webinar, acclaimed author David Epstein joins us to discuss his latest book, “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.” He shares why, even as the world gets more specialized, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.

Events like economic turns are common, but executives today must prepare for many more unexpected turns, such as catastrophic weather-related events, trade wars, political confrontations or market disruptions. Gartner studied how 60 growth companies separated themselves from peers during the Great Recession, the biggest turn in recent memory. In this complimentary Gartner webinar, we reveal how you can develop your winning in the turns strategy by strengthening three core supply chain pillars: Strategy, Cost and Talent.
