“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.”
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”.
