Abstract

Abstract: Four decades after the original publication of Human Competence: Engineering Worthy Performance, the author considers the ongoing relevance of Thomas F. Gilbert's most famous work. Certainly, he remains the most revered and most important figure in the history of ISPI. Does he still matter? For answers, the author turns to the text and discusses the enduring lessons of Gilbert's greatest book along with the continuing viability of his ideas for the 21st century.
