Abstract
The development of a new skills mix must be seen as part of anorganisational change management strategy. It is only credible when itadds value to what an organisation does. The role of baseline skills isexamined together with the failure of competencybased managementphilosophies to set the scene for appropriate training and development.A major factor in the development of a new skills mix is the capabilityof workers with regard to selfmanagement and selfredesign of work. Itis contended that middle management and the process of management holdthe key to achieving a successful new mix of skills for competitiveadvantage.
