Issues and challenges for the future PA
The PA needs to react fast to frequent changes in its
organization and supported processes
- changes in the business flows,
- relocation of people
BP supported by PAs are typically extremely complex
- many exceptional and seldom executed paths
- typically involve many different offices/organizations
- are strongly interrelated
Current approaches to learning are not suitable to this
dynamic and fast changing context

Learning in PA
Learning and sharing of knowledge
(state of the practice):
- Informative and off-line
- Difficulties in sharing
- Difficulties in competence identification
- Difficulties in relating activities “in the small” with
the overall objective
- Difficulties in relating information with action

The Learn PAd proposal
Learn PAd intends to build a platform fostering an approach
based on 4 different pillars:
- Model based
- Collaborative
- Competence identification and assessment
- Support for different learning paradigm

Modeling for Learning
Learn PAd supports the definition of models
for representing activities to learn and
the working context (D3.1):
- BP Modeling for Learning
- Case Management Modeling
- Organizational Modeling
- Business Motivation Modeling
- Competency Modeling
- Data Modeling
Huge Meta-modeling effort

Modeling for Cooperating
Defined models are exported in a collaborative based
infrastructure including a Wiki platform
- Wiki pages permits collaboration on contents
- Civil servants can suggest modifications to models
- Activities can be monitored to highlight and possibly reward
cooperation

Modeling for Assessing
Defined models are used by suitable transformers to derive
process simulations for learning
- Transformation from models can be defined to automatically
derive questionnaire (possibly collaboratively refined)
