Many industries are undergoing a period of rapidchange with new technologies, productionconcepts, work processes and materials

Shift fromtraditionalforms ofproductiontowardsleaner, agileand ﬂexibleproductionbased on highperformancework systems

High levels of communication, numeracy, problemsolving and team working are required asmanagerial authority is delegated to the shopﬂoor

Broad Job Classiﬁcations which allow functionalﬂexibility requiring workers to be competent across a broader range of tasks

Organisational learning around new patternsof activities is based on capturing the learning and work experiences of individual workers and teams of workers

Flat management hierarchies provide more responsibility for individual workers and workteams in problem solving and in organising work processes

PLEs can support networked informal learning

learning takes place in the workplace and through work processes, is multi episodic, is often informal, is problembased and takes place on a just in time basis

learning is highly individualised and heavily integrated with contextual work practices

TEL can overcome problems of scaling and systematising informal learning

PLEs are a ﬂexible process to scaffold individual and community learning and knowledge development.

Ensurethat peerproductionis unlocked

Ensure individuals receive scaffolds to deal with the growing abundance

Ensure shared meaning of work practices atindividual, organisational and inter-organisational levels emerges from these interactions
