Skills and Competency Open Resource (SCOR) Framework

Michael L. Brown, an internationally recognised Skills and Competence Framework architect and futurist, has twenty years experience in developing frameworks for large scale, complex systems for Public and Private Organizations. He serves on numerous skill/competency standard working groups, designed the initial skills system for the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Hawaii, and helped to organise and sustain the United States Skill Standards Board industry partnerships.

His design efforts were used to redesign the job structure and skills and competency framework for some services in the US Department of Defense. His “End-to-End Skills and Performance Learning” model has provided a roadmap for forward leaning organizations and several Leonardo da Vinci projects and working groups. He founded and is currently CEO of SkillsNET® Enterprises Ltd. and SkillsNET® Europe, Ltd.

Talent transformation initiatives are on the increase due in part to the changing nature of work, certification transparency, mobility patterns, rapid decay of current skill/ competency capability, and the need to have a competency-focused performance environment. Arguably an important endeavor, talent transformation is a daunting thought that would not have been considered possible in recent years, but the emergence of new technologies and scientific methods have now made it a reality. How? The convergence of several frameworks and open source popularity now enable design architects and practitioners to successfully implement an Enterprise Talent Management system that is standards based.

During the early phases of the “Talent Transformation Age”, standard bodies focused on network and user device interoperability, software capability maturity models, communication protocols, learning management systems, learning content management systems, and performance measurement standards. All are essential components of the Talent Transformation Stack, but until now, a standard for the work, worker, and workplace component was missing.

The Skills and Competency Open Resource (SCOR) Framework is a serious effort led by Michael Brown, CEO SkillsNET Enterprises and a team of industry thought leaders, scientist, educators, and government policy designers to establish a framework to support Talent Transformation efforts. SCOR is a collection of components that are interconnected to create a trusted and reliable framework to collect, validate, and maintain skill and competency content. During the session, Mr. Brown and international thought leaders will provide participants with the history and current status of the SCOR components, insights into current efforts, and guidelines to participate in SCOR process.

In a session on Thursday, November 30, Michael L. Brown will provide a detailed description of the SCOR open source toolkit, shared database architecture, End-to-End Learning and Performance model, participation guidelines, and how all the pieces fit within the current European eSkills, eCompetency, and ePortfolio efforts.

Wayne Hodgins, Autodesk and Learning/Performance Futurist, will outline the IEEE LTSC Skill and Competency study groups, current status, and guidelines to join the development process. Christine Wässle, SAP Global HR: Talent and Organizational Development, will offer insights to SAP’s skill and competency program designed to improve talent performance in a highly complex and matrixed organization. Grégoire Besnier, Strategist, Bitmedia, will discuss how commercial off-the-shelf learning and performance systems can leverage emerging framework to provide industry actors with optimized solutions. Nikitas Kastis, Deputy Director General, LAMBRAKIS RESEARCH FOUNDATION, will discuss SCOR’s potential impact on e-Learning and ongoing efforts to improve content quality and service delivery.
