3 digit coding system. Example: 1.1.6 Served on the BOD of your discipline’s Professional Society 1. 1st digit is the Category 2. 2nd digit is the Node in the Category 3. 3rd digit is the activity within the Node
• Authoring an internal report or project report would be coded as: 1.2.9
• Attending (only) a professional meeting in your core discipline would be coded as 1.3.1
• Attending the meeting and serving as a session chair would be coded as 1.3.3
Review all T-Stem Categories and Nodes
• You will have at least (probably at most) one Stem, your primary practice discipline. You may have a second Stem, where you have achieved equivalent preparation, knowledge, and certification.
T - Tops
• You will very likely have more than one T – Top, representing more than one area of specialize practice experience based on the fundamental knowledge base of your core discipline (T – Stem).
• For example, Service Science is a T – Top we all share at this point.
• Identify YOUR top 2 or 4 T – Tops at this point in your career
A T-Top may be an area in which you have specialized practice experience
• A service systems view
systems that focus on flows of things transportation & supply chain
water & waste
food & products
energy & electricity
ICT & cloud
systems that support people's activities building & construction
retail & hospitality
banking & finance
healthcare & family
education & work
systems that govern city secure
state scale
nation laws
A T-Top may be a specialized technology application area
• A technology view
Technologies that inform educational technologies
diagnostic technologies
social communication technologies
information technologies
financial technologies
Technologies that produce Food production
Electronics production
Building and construction materials
Drug production
Automobile production
Technologies that secure Personal security
Venue security
Area wide security
A T-top may be your specialized knowledge of culture
• Cultural view Specialized knowledge of cultures Asian cultural knowledge
African cultural knowledge
Native and aboriginal cultural knowledge
Historical knowledge of culture or religion
Local and international knowledge of culture or religion
Specialized knowledge science Service Science …
Specialized knowledge of arts
For next time… 1. Code the T – Stem items in your vita
with three digit codes. 2. Do the same for each T – Top in turn
