Self-assessment tool for skills management for small- and medium-sized enterprises

SMEs have a tendency to perform less well on a range of business indicators compared to bigger companies, which is correlated to lower investments in skills management related indicators.
This study explores and investigates the skills needs of various SMEs, from a broad set of sectors and maturity stages. Based on the analysis of the literature, interviews with stakeholders and SMEs, as well as tool case studies, the study identifies several development options for a self-assessment tool for skills management for SMEs.
