Scenarios

A minimum of three foresight scenarios will be developed covering the period 2010-2015 based on foreseeable developments, which will affect the supply and demand of e-skills, with a focus on ICT practitioners. The scenarios will be developed according to a structured process, based on a consolidated methodology and include the following elements:

  • A synthetic description of the vision underlying the alternative scenarios, explaining its rationale and the interplay of the main developments characterising it;
  • A detailed description of the basic assumptions (focal issues and key hypotheses) driving the development of the main components of the scenario (possibly sub-scenarios)
  • The identification of the main parameters (qualitative and quantitative) affecting the scenario, their relative weight in terms of impact, their likeliness and their scale of measurement;
  • The identification of the main data sources for the measurement of the parameters of the scenarios, naturally drawing on the results of the study’s data sources and analysis results.

These elements will feed into the mathematical model of the scenarios.
