Skills, knowledge and workplace design

There is a growing disconnect between job design, skills and workplace organisation. The national training system is driven by the notion of individual "jobs" and individual skills needs. This atomisation of skills has led inevitably to a notion of personal training regimes and certification. It has ignored the wider issue of the collective nature of most workplaces in which multiple roles are swapped amongst workgroup members, and the "messy" and "informal" nature of real work.
