Dave Waller, MyKnowledgeMap’s Operations Director, and Tom Holland, Communications Director, have had a paper published in the most recent Journal of Workplace Learning.

The paper, entitled 'Managing skills and knowledge using online tools', draws on MyKnowledgeMap's experience working with a range of organisations across the private and public sectors. It explores the structured approach to measuring skills and knowledge and how such an approach can be beneficial for improving performance.

The paper also examines how online tools can help with measuring skills and the wider implications for the UK and European skills development environments. It concludes that, by developing online tools to guide organisations through the process of mapping and measuring skills and targeting skills gaps, organisations will be able to better support their strategic aims.

The Journal of Workplace Learning aims to provide an avenue for the presentation and discussion of research related to the workplace as a site for learning. Its scope encompasses formal, informal and incidental learning in the workplace for individuals, groups and teams, as well as work-based learning, and off-the-job learning for the workplace.
