BUSINESS PROCESSES AND OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES CHALLENGES FOR TOMORROW-S INDUSTRY WORKFORCE
Abstract
This article offers an innovative method for deriving curricula for tomorrow’s workforce in the geospatial sector, considering the market requirements through modelling business processes, identifying and analyzing occupational profiles. The idea behind this approach reveals business processes models described by workflows of tasks that workforce needs to master in their daily work. In addition, business processes show who is involved in projects and needs to communicate with one another, and how the information is interrelated in order to obtain an output. Serving a variety of occupational profiles leads to a variety of curricula that will cover vocational training, re-skilling of existing workforce and academic education. The methodology for identifying the major business processes uses Business Process Modelling and Notation as for documenting the details of how a process operates as a visual representation of a work that shows who are the actors involved in the process, their interactions and the data flow of business process from task to task. A complex analysis of the whole range of business processes models was made by applying several criteria of similarities and differences, which set up the difference between the workflows, type of activities and occupational profiles related to them.
