Professional Training Facts 2008.

Turbulent markets make it necessary for companies to adapt to new demands in a rapid way. An intelligent organisational and personnel development plays a central role in coping with this strategic management task. To keep companies competitive in this challenging environment it is necessary to build up, to maintain and to develop the competences of employees and organisational units. The challenge is to bring into relation the management of competences with the performance of the company and to adapt in-company learning and competence development processes appropriately.These current developments and topics are the subject of the international Professional Training Facts conference which took place in November 2008 and was organised by Fraunhofer IAO for the fourth time in succession. The conference offers practitioners and developers a forum for the exchange of information and experiences from organisational and personnel development. This CD-Rom contains the conference proceedings.
