Changing Performance Requirements: Consequences for New Training Schemes

Abstract

Discusses the concept of “integrating management” with respect to the development of a new approach to training in the Dutch Department of Public Works; tertiary technical education is no longer enough as training for managers facing interdisciplinary problems, as the Department changes from a functional to a product organization. Describes the present and future altered organizational structures. Describes how job and training profiles were developed from the literature, analysis of data about the target population and their training needs, collected by interview and questionnaire, and a crucial two‐day workshop to test the validity of the results and to draw up the profiles.
