Phases Planning: identify critical business goals and
competences, select employees to address them

and employees
Data Model Business Goals (BGs):
Critical needs (e.g. project administration)
Learning Indicators (LIs):
Competences (e.g. planning, reporting)
Learning Resources (LRs):
Materials, tools, peers

Feedback from Interviews “BOOST approach is very useful, because I can set the learning goals I need
for my employees and see their performance and learning process.”
“Such tool, as a light-weight alternative to a Learning Management System,
can be used for planning of learning processes. Provided high-quality learning
content is available, the use of such system will contribute to the development
of the employees’ skills.”
“There is currently not much support for organizing training in SME, so BOOST
is a good start. The problems of SME are very diverse, so the system needs
to be even more flexible in terms of adaptability to specific business needs.”
