New\ntechnologies (including digitalisation) and organisational innovations are changing\njobs and tasks. Technology replaces routine activities and instead creates new\n(and changed) job profiles. The so-called ‘servitisation’ of products\n(product\/service combinations), the robotisation of manual labour and the\nemergence of platform economies are examples of developments that lead to\nchanges in the organisation of work and the skills required. In addition, societal\nchanges are increasingly affecting the workplace: ageing and (economic)\nmigration bring about changes in the composition of the workforce. Furthermore,\ncompanies are also changing simply because of strategic business choices to\nexpand or terminate services and processes, or because they are entering the\ninternational market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order\nto respond properly to the current and future changes that companies are\nfacing, it is important to have a clear picture of what competences are\nrequired in companies. Competence forecasting can help companies to re- or upskill\nemployees in a timely and correct way and to apply innovation(s) in the work organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against\nthis background, Technopolis Group has carried out exploratory research for the\nFlemish Department of Work & Social Economy (WSE). The result is an advice\non mapping future competence needs at company level, which should lead to\nconcrete action plans in these companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","solution":[111],"sector":[92,74],"class_list":["post-23466","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry","solution-strategic-studies-fr","sector-entrepreneurship-fr","sector-higher-education-fr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
