随着我们进入 21 世纪，对于水专业人士以及水发挥核心作用的行业的专业人士来说，变革日益成为一个中心主题。建设水和密切相关部门的专业人员领导此类变革的能力将是应对本世纪全球水挑战的重要组成部分。本文通过批判性地发展“T 型水专业人士”这一概念，将其作为教育项目课程设计的框架，以培养水专业人士刺激和推动创新和变革过程的能力，从而做出了贡献。 T形水专业理念融合了领导力、组织管理、学习理论、协作、批判性思维和实践的见解。在此过程中，该概念回答了两个基本问题：(i) 水务专业人员需要哪些技能和知识来刺激和引领变革，以及； (ii) 我们如何开发它们？
As we progress into the 21st century, change is an increasingly central theme for water professionals and for professionals in sectors where water plays a central role. Building the capacity of professionals in water and closely related sectors to lead such change will be an essential component of the response to global water challenges this century. This paper provides a contribution by critically developing a concept, the T-shaped water professional, as a framework for the design of curricula for educational programs to build the capacity of water professionals to stimulate and drive processes of innovation and change. The T-shaped water professional concept integrates insights from leadership, organizational management, learning theory, collaboration, critical thinking, and praxis. In doing so, the concept provides a response to two basic questions – (i) what skills and knowledge do water professionals need to stimulate and lead change, and; (ii) how can we develop them?
