Labour market information and an assessment of its applications: a series of international case studies

Many countries over recent years have invested in their labour market information system (LMIS) to serve an array of policy interests and support a range of stakeholdersand users.   LMIS have been defined as having three main functions:•Responsible for labour market analysis;•Responsible for monitoring and reporting on employment and labour policies;•Provides a mechanism to exchange information or coordinate different actors and institutions that produce and utilize labour market information and analysis’ (S parreboom, 2013, p. 258). LMIS bring together various available data on labour market demand and supply,particularly on skills. Data have traditionally included administrative and survey data, butnew big data analytics offer possibilities to enhance and enrich existing data and currentLMIS. </p

Interacting Skills: High Road Strategies for Digital Transformation

Understood as skilled labour, talent is one of the systemic conditions included in Stam’s model of entrepreneurial ecosystems. In line with the ‘high road perspective’, employers need to harness the skills of their workers in order to achieve both the economic and social goals resulting from successful digital transformation. The skills categorisation developed as part of the BEYOND 4.0 project forms the basis of the theoretical framing for this chapter. The categorisation includes newly emerging skills and skills that are becoming increasingly important in light of digital transformation. The categorisation distinguishes between four transversal skill categories: digital skills on the one hand and personal, social and methodological skills (taken together, also described as non-digital skills) on the other. In addition to these transversal skill categories, job-specific skills related to concrete work tasks and work experience are also seen as playing a critical role. Using the lens of interacting skills, this chapter draws on findings from empirical data from Work Package 6 Understanding future skills: empowering groups to propose one way for companies to develop innovative solutions for the digital transformation. The premise of the chapter is that the uptake and adoption of new digital technologies requires a new approach to thinking about skills. Five practical actions or steps that HR professionals and functional managers in companies can take when developing and implementing company-based skills initiatives in response to digital tranformation are presented. </p

Development, supply, deployment, demand: Balancing the museum digital skills ecosystem. First findings of the ‘One by One’ national digital literacy project

Skills matter. The digital literacy of the workforce remains one of the key challenges for the adoption of technology within museums (NMC, 2015; 2016). According to Nesta, the AHRC and ACE (2014; 2015), over a third of museums in England still feel that they do not have the in-house skills to meet their digital aspirations, and rather than improving, some digital skills areas have decreased. The latest findings (Nesta and ACE, 2017) report a "lack of confidence" as a barrier—more so than the cultural sector as a whole. Addressing this pressing issue, the aim of the UK’s "One by One" national project, is to work over the next two years to understand how to deliver a transformative framework for museum workforce digital literacy. This paper is the first sharing, internationally, of the emerging findings of the initial phase of the "One by One" research. Combining museology with leading-edge employment studies, the paper attempts to evidence the development, supply, demand, and deployment of digital skills in the UK museum sector, identifying key actors and mapping typical employment patterns and skills policies. The paper shares how digital skills are currently developed and recruited, how demand is articulated, what skills gaps exist, and what challenges impede skill development and deployment. Furthermore, it explores the shift from "technical skills" to "digital literacies" — what this shift represents, and the facilitators and inhibitors related to this shift that are recognized within the sector

Mapping the Museum Digital Skills Ecosystem - Phase One Report

‘One by One’ leverages interdisciplinary scholarship to understand how to deliver a transformative framework for museum workforce digital literacy. The objective of the first phase of the project has been to map how digital skills are currently supplied, developed and deployed in the UK museum sector, and to pinpoint current changes in the demand around these skills
