I was at an SME discussion forum in which SME's were talking about skill - or the general lack of multi-dexterous skill. At some point we were talking about the technological requirement of SME's. Quite a number of them wished that they could have (relevant here) a techie who is excited about technology, who therefore has a genuine aptitude for hardware and software management, BUT ALSO is able to manage their website effectively managing copy, working out online promos and such. Of course some might say that this is an unreasonable requirement. But I have learnt from people who have grown that specialisation is a good thing that limits all kinds of growth. They, those I have learnt from, became successful and top in their industries because they could wash dishes and cook gourmet meals... I.e. They could offer several unrelated expertise. It occured to me to wonder: what's the prevailing view here? Kags
