Collaborative Approaches to Competence Development

The ongoing digital transformation is changing work and production environments of companies. In addition, a demand-oriented development and efficient use of employee skills are becoming ever more important for success. Thus, there is a need for new decentralized and situationally adaptable solutions that enable self-organized learning paths and informal competence development. This paper presents challenges of collaborative competence development and solutions for IT-supported self-organized learning paths at different organizational levels and shows project examples from the textile industry.
