Abstract:

This panel presents three different perspectives on change: Several forces are converging to change the field of technical communication; panelist predicts some of the skills needed to survive those changes. Panelist examines the toll that change exacts on the individual and suggests personal and professional strategies for managing that change. Panelist demonstrates that, in a tight economic market, technical communicators can learn to substitute the concept of a “portfolio careerâ€Ω for the traditional career ladder.
