A relationship with the European ICT Professional Profiles (CWA 16458:2012, original CWA updated by e-CF 3.0 competences and re-published in 20
16、14) is established. A number of relevant e-Competences and their applying level(s), as defined by this standard, are assigned to each Profile. CWA 16234-4:2014, composed of 15 case studies illustrating e-CF practical use from multiple sector perspectives, remains published and can be downloaded for

PD CEN/TR 16234-2:2016CEN/TR 16234-2:2016 (E) 4 Introduction EN 16234-1 was established as a tool to support mutual understanding and provide transparency of language through the articulation of competences required and deployed by
18、 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals. The underpinning philosophy and principles adopted during the standards construction that are vital for its application and for successive updates are explained in the Introduction of EN 16234-1.

19、 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Report supports understanding, adoption and use of EN 16234-1. It supports Information and Communication Technology (ICT) stakeholders, in particular: ICT service, demand and supply companies; ICT professionals, managers and human resource (HR) departments; vocational e
20、ducation institutions and training bodies including higher education; social partners (trade unions and employer associations); professional associations, accreditation, validation and assessment bodies; market analysts and policy makers; and other organizations and stakeholders in public and privat
21、e sectors across Europe, to adopt, apply and use the framework in their environment. 2 Normative reference The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For un
22、dated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

23、rposes of this document, the terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviated terms given in EN 16234-1 apply. 4 General principles This Technical Report provides guidance on how to apply EN 16234-1 from multiple ICT stakeholder perspectives. It addresses the fact that a European reference set of ICT com
24、petence definitions is unlikely to match all company or institutions needs perfectly. EN 16234-1 is intended for guidance and is designed to provide a common shared reference tool which can be implemented, adapted and used in accordance with ICT stakeholder requirements. The following implementation
25、 guidance is structured by stakeholder groups. 5 Adapting EN 16234-1 as a shared European reference to specific needs 5.1 Case studies To support EN 16234-1 application within multiple environments, a series of illustrative case studies provide examples, benefits and hints of how to make best use of
26、 EN 16234-1. They relate to practical EN 16234-1 application experiences and have been elaborated together with EN 16234-1 applying organizations throughout Europe. All case studies have been published as Part 4 of the European e-Competence framework version 3.0 CWA 16234-4:2014 and they can be down
27、loaded for free from the internet (Official e-CF website: PD CEN/TR 16234-2:2016CEN/TR 16234-2:2016 (E) 6 www.ecompetences.eu).

37、emand and supply public and private) 5.2.1 General Competence management, people development and HR planning are valuable components of employee management within companies and the public sector. At a minimum, each employee should have: In an existing role, a clear description of the position to whi
38、ch he/she is assigned, including a mission statement, responsibilities, activities, outcomes, performance indicators and resources/ experience/ certifications required to perform the job correctly. In a new role, a competence assessment to measure the gap between his/her knowledge, skills and experi
39、ence and those required by the position. When necessary, an individual development plan is established to fill the gaps. At a more intensive level of people management, the following points are relevant: position descriptions derive from part of one or several job profile structures, each job profil
40、e including the levels of required competence; each job profile is part of a career path, allowing employees to understand progression routes; HR strategy and annual individual objectives derived from company needs (or ambitions); individual development plans taking into consideration annual individ
41、ual objectives; using training catalogues, a training plan is created from consolidation of combined individual development plans. Figure 1 The use of the European e-Competence Framework is multiple within ICT organizations PD CEN/TR 16234-2:2016CEN/TR 16234-2:2016 (E) 9 The four dimensions of EN 16
42、234-1 support the employee and the competence management process on multiple levels. As shown in Figure 1, it provides a consistent level of granularity and continuity. For further practical illustrations, see Table 2. Table 2 Case studies illustrating EN 162341 use in support of HR management (Sour

44、development Competence gap identification 5.2.2 Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) There are differences between ICT SMEs and larger organizations when considering the application of competences. Such differences are more related to business approach than size. In particular, agile SMEs focus
45、ed on continuous improvement and innovations are likely the target groups of EN 16234-1. However, size may influence: the type of e-competences considered as relevant for the organization; namely, the smaller the enterprise, the smaller its interest in standardization and formalization of internal p
46、rocesses; the perspective of e-competence application and use. The smaller the enterprise, the greater the interest in e-competences, for internal business purposes; EN 16234-1 as an internal tool becomes more and more relevant when size increases. In this ICT SME context, types of EN 16234-1 applic
47、ation may be as follows: 1. self-assessment, addressing people, the organization, the company as such; 2. company presentation to clients, as a business card; 3. support company growth, as a compass, a managerial dashboard. The key perspectives of the possible EN 16234-1 applications mentioned above
48、 can be summarized as follows: Competence need analysis tool; Marketing aid; Competence development tool linked consistently to the business strategy. Mapping skills and competence with EN 16234-1 is straightforward. Enterprises may access EN 16234-1 vocabulary and definitions and, if doubts arise,
