The Power of a Niche: Focused Expert or Flexible Generalist?
Is it better to be known as the expert in one area, or to be the versatile designer who can do it all? This session brings together both specialists and generalists for a dynamic debate on the value of carving out a niche versus building a broader portfolio.
We’ll also weigh the risks: Does hyper-specialization limit opportunities? Can being a generalist provide more resilience in shifting markets? Panelists will share how they carved out their niches (or chose not to) and what that’s meant for their growth, reputation, and long-term success.
