Abstract: This article examines the evolution from T-shaped to V-shaped professional competency models in response to rapidly changing workplace demands. While T-shaped professionals combine deep expertise in one domain with broad knowledge across multiple areas, V-shaped professionals develop graduated depth across adjacent domains, creating a more fluid transition between specialization and generalization. Drawing on empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, this paper analyzes the drivers behind this shift, its organizational and individual impacts, and evidence-based strategies for developing V-shaped capabilities. Case studies across technology, healthcare, and consulting sectors demonstrate how organizations are successfully cultivating V-shaped talent to enhance adaptability, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration. The article concludes with a framework for building sustainable talent development systems that foster professional versatility in an increasingly complex business environment.
