CEN Workshop on ICT Skills
• ICT supply chain is getting longer and longer• innovative service models are seen as an
escape from complete commoditization• “steady” innovation (Moore's law still valid!)• the gold rush is over:
pioneers are changing themselvesor leaving the space to breeders and farmers
Maturity of the ICT sector
CEN Workshop on ICT Skills
• “Pure techies” on the leading edge of R&D, designing innovative components and products:
– general purpose systems (e.g. a typical PC)– dedicated systems, with ICT components
embedded in other products
• Application specialistsrequired to design innovative solutions in a given context (both domain-specific and even organization-specific)
• Look at IBM's shift from hardware to software products, and then from products to services...
The hybrid ICT professionals

The complete range of skills
CEN Workshop on ICT Skills
• The two current projects could converge and result into a comprehensive formal standard:
– End User e-Skills Framework– e-Competence Framework in Action
Innovation and e-business skills are yet to be explored and defined (our WS's new frontier)
Towards a comprehensiveEN standard on ICT skills ?
In pioneering times IT users had to be technology experts as well: a single set of researchers/amateurs existed.An increased maturity of the sector requires now to define the different roles and to come to common views and standards both on user and professional skills.

• The European e-Competence Framework could become practically available to organisations through a set of services built on top of it:
– not only definitions, but also measurement• national qualifications frameworks• self-assessment (diagnosis)• training & testing• certification
The European Commission is not willing to override National Governments, nor to act as a market player offering such services!
