The project
ExCurS – An Excellence based Curriculum for the Improvement of LEAN & Green Management Skills in SME.
What is ExCurS?
An Excellence based self-assessment tool that allows an organisation to easily identify improvement potentials as a basis for redesigning processes; suitable for digitalisation and revitalising existing business models by specific trainings; especially increase the competencies of managers and staff as well as the maturity of the SME toward digitalisation and sustainable organisation.
The overall goal of this project is to create a training program for vocational education. ExCurS aims to offer a self-assessment tool that allows a match of organisational needs for skills and knowledge for a strategic growth with the personal development plan of individuals based on assessing existing and future potentials.
This concept will be validated by delivering and piloting a training programme focussed on teaching LEAN & Green Management Skills for SME, thus supporting the EU new Green deal and by its hybrid training structure the digitalisation efforts.
To do so, ExCurS will deliver a Work-Based Blended Learning concept realised by an online platform, which can be implemented and used by any stakeholder.
