Forget about T-shaped people. We need X-shaped people. | David Clifford | TEDxChristchurch

In 2010, Tim Brown, the co-founder of IDEO, proposed the idea of a T-shaped person: someone with both depth and breadth of skills. What makes a T-shaped person special is empathy. But our world of ever-increasing complexity calls for people who bring more than empathy and more than knowledge. In this thought-provoking talk, David Clifford offers a new model to build embodied, purposeful, self-aware, ethical, creative people. David Clifford is an American edu-agitator who founded Design School X (DSX) and co-created Liberatory Design. He builds irresistible learning environments of belonging and becoming.
