THEMATIC DISCUSSIONS
AI will entail unprecedented organizational and workplace changes. From the people perspective, one of the main approaches to addressing these profound changes is the mapping of professional skills and learning systems. Accelerating organizational learning seems imperative, but the focus should not be solely on technological skills such as Digicom. The skills to be mapped must include cognitive and emotional competencies, which gain enormous relevance in the new skill maps imposed by AI.
In these conversations, professionals will present different experiences of how each of their organizations seeks to adapt to the challenge posed by AI and the role of social learning, communities, and skill mapping.
Social learning (communities of surveillance and practice), and empowering individual (self-learning) and collective skill maps through new learning and innovation spaces will be the focus of this conversation. We will also analyze how some of these practices can be supported by AI and LLM agents.

Participants will present topics for the study and transfer of scientific and professional knowledge. New informational variables that saturate individual and organizational attention spans will be analyzed, as well as the decreasing role of specialized conferences and journals. The conversation will also focus on the scientific contributions of the seven EDO Conferences since 2010, analyzing their present and future prospects.
The final objective is to reflect on how to reposition the knowledge generated in (new) learning events so that it is relevant, attractive and useful for professionals.
Coordinator: Jesús Martínez
Speakers: José Luis Alonso Andresano, María Cano Bonilla (Content and Learning Consultancy), Pablo Rivarola Padrós and Joaquín Gairín Sallán (CRiEDO - UAB)
Communities of practice (CoPs) have been a reality in public administrations for more than 20 years. However, only three applied experiences have been maintained permanently. These include the Compartim Program of the Center for Legal Studies and Specialized Training of the Department of Justice of the Generalitat of Catalonia, the CoPs of the Andalusian Institute of Public Administration, and the CoPs of the Public Health Agency of Catalonia.
The debate will revolve around various real-life stories experienced by the participants in this conversation, which will serve as a reference for the discussion about the conditions that facilitate the creation and sustainability of communities of practice.
Moderates: Saida López Crespo (UAB-CRiEDO)
Speakers: Mireia Ochoa Mallofré (Ajuntament de Barcelona), Daniel Giménez Roig (Agéncia de Salut Pública de Catalunya), Silvia Martinez (Escola d'Administració Pública de Catalunya), Jesús Martínez Marín (CEJFE)
