Within this section we have a collection of case studies highlighting good practice in work and skills. These studies have been gathered by the Beep project, and further analysis of these studies and more can be found on the Beep Knowledge System. The menu on the left indicates the various areas covered by the case studies.
Cases in Work and Skills
Work and Skills - focus on best practice to enhance work and skills in organisations through the use of ICT.
The work and skills domain focuses upon an individual’s skills and working environment and how they interact within the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry, taking into consideration the metamorphosis/changes in the new forms of working life. For example post-Fordism, lean production, flexibility, out-sourcing, group work, clustering, are some of the issues that are shaping our work-life balance. The concept and idea of a new working life has been described as a new paradigm. It is viewed as a revolutionary shift in the global economy. The link between work and skills in the “new digital working life” can be explored in socio-economic sectors such as:
- diversity in working life
- work organisation
- work environments
- ICT Management
- new media industry development
