Subject :

The project aims at strenghtening the competitiveness of European poles in the creation of innovative products and services and to disseminate widely the results and learnings to different publics.
It relies on the design and the experimentation of a methodology to anticipate changes at human, organisational and social level. This anticipating mechanism should lead to the management of jobs and competencies at several levels: individual, enterprise, partners of the territory, social partners at the localn national and European level. The second objective is to disseminate as much as possible the results and learning of the project by reaching the different level and public concerned.

Consequently the project will result in:

• Predictive tools and models and best practices for anticipating the changes in the process of creation of new products and services.

• A mechanism for working groups able to anticipate and manage the changes.

• The consolidation of jobs and competences within companies and at the level of the territory through tutoring by experts and training.

• The public access to the predictive tools and models and best practices on a knowledge management platform on-line including a knowledge base and an e-learning device for tutoring learner.

• The training of all stakeholders (managers, employees, unions' representatives, local stakeholders and authorities) to the tools and best practices.

• The dissemination of tools and best practices through the organisation of events at local and European level, through their publications and through their integration in the courses of engineering and business schools.
