¿Especialízate? ¡Generalízate! | Hubertus Georg Hellenthal | TEDxUDLAP


[Music]
the one that a lot covers little squeezes with
listened
the British chris weitz more turn
very similar to the apprentice of every teacher
nothing does not make us betis knows two
business feels the humans said
have something nothing in total and is similar in
Frank knows everything but does not know everything and
make it tone
all those sayings and tell us that
specialize is better than I knew of
several disciplines
let’s remember when people especially
people respect as our parents
our teachers put their period
this work or secret or secretaries the
government strengthen us in that
feeling that specializing is what
necessary to succeed in life
I feel every time you need more
specialists is a good idea I do not think
and such that specialize longer
applies so much to us in the world
in which we live today
what if in the past it was very
important to know of only one discipline
today it is more important to connect those that
such if instead of Bolivians
the generalist of which all those
said
we become more than a simple in the
list and we become a mix
Inter an expert and a generalist knows
deep of various disciplines a
generalist expert
and although they do not believe it that exists
disease is an example of the world
financial
those are Juan to sign and manga of
Huawei is the most investment company
biggest in the world
these are the prototypes of what a
model that are expert finalists
they have obviously finance
also from law engineering to
test history and many other
disciplines and that’s why they are so
successful since based on the
understanding of those areas and power
connect them they can take better
decisions
before investing in a company
also how can they talk to
those who are specialists in bridges
about problems that maybe can not
because if you need a great success
as you can see it has many advantages of
being an expert finalist is more
flexible
you have more capacity for resilience is
more creative because put more
solutions of an area and apply it in
that does not bring
besides that has that ease of
understand the specialists
we all know that when for example
the specialists argue on the web and
one does not understand the other because
they are basically living in worlds
different and speaking different languages
along with that goes that ease of
relate because many times the
specialists in that trend of
get together with the people who think or the
that are equal to them and that’s not
necessarily something good
I believe that the world is increasingly an
world of generalist because the world is
increasingly complex as perhaps the
asks if the world is increasingly
complex does not owe more and more niches
for specialized to europe take advantage
that more complex world
one has to connect
I’m going to give you another example of the world
of software was a well-known partner
called microsoft theme is a piece
of communication software and
collaboration and then when
Microsoft develops wanted
microsoft specialists in that
I was thinking how is Microsoft thought
in office software for equipment that
they are in offices meanwhile there were
a developer development group
of video games began to develop
flag is a very similar alternative with
the difference that a
team of general experts the them
they had worked in so many
very different projects before and
so they knew what they are
the needs of the customers and that
customers are not necessarily
always in offices
and that changed everything because suddenly
they not only sold to teams that are
offices but to all kinds of equipment that
there is in the world and that is obviously
much more
here we can realize that a
product although it is simpler it
becomes more successful since with that of
that expert finalist in which the
ability to sell to customers very
different in very different situations
in different companies and in environments
different
finally jockey take and apply
these three points and in fact there are many
cases where it makes more sense
generalist than specialist although the
conventional agency
sometimes it makes us feel the opposite
the second point to understand that there’s
only one truth what is given in a
discipline well it is very different note
and that point that especially here in
environments like the university should
facilitate and increase communication and
the understanding between them ideologies
and this does not only apply to just
academic or only work because the
future not only academic only work
is to take the best of the two and put it together
and to them
Now you know the best of both
something very different for everyone
or that explore let the community
take each of you to them that
maybe they are not yours or the one that studies
at this time they have studied
I promise you that if you are interested or
something and connect it with its charge of
much basis at some point in life
and the way they least expect it
thank you very much
