Abstract

This article analyzes how activity analysis can serve as a lever for situated training for professionals working in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in the context of organizational change. Based on an intervention-research methodology integrated with professional didactics, the authors show how professionals can develop through the analysis of their own activity in context, enhancing transversal skills related to change management, cooperation, and innovation. Work thus becomes a space for active professionalization, where reflection on real activity enables the transformation of practices while consolidating action-based knowledge. The study illustrates how work, when recognized and supported as a training ground, fosters in-situ learning and contributes to the reconfiguration of professional roles in evolving industrial contexts.

Changements organisationnels dans les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) : la contribution de l’analyse du travail dans la formation-validation des compétences transversales

Keywords: analyse des activités, formation en situation, compétences transversales, changement organisationnel, professionnalisation, SMEs

Abstract

Cet article examine comment l’analyse de l’activité peut devenir un levier de formation situé pour les professionnels intervenant dans les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME), en particulier dans les processus de changement organisationnel. S’appuyant sur une démarche de recherche-intervention combinée à la didactique professionnelle, les auteurs montrent comment les professionnels peuvent se former à travers l’analyse de leur propre activité en contexte, en développant des compétences transversales liées à la conduite du changement, à la coopération et à l’innovation. Le travail devient ainsi un espace de professionnalisation active, où la réflexivité sur l’activité réelle permet de transformer les pratiques tout en consolidant des savoirs d’action. Cette étude illustre comment le travail, reconnu et outillé comme terrain de formation, favorise l’apprentissage in situ et contribue à la reconfiguration des rôles professionnels dans les contextes industriels en mutation.

Cambiamenti organizzativi nelle piccole e medie imprese (PMI): il contributo dell’analisi del lavoro nella formazione e validazione delle competenze trasversali

Keywords: analisi delle attività, formazione contestualizzata, competenze trasversali, cambiamento organizzativo, professionalizzazione, SMEs

Abstract

Il presente contributo analizza come l’analisi dell’attività possa costituire una leva di formazione situata per i professionisti attivi nelle piccole e medie imprese (PMI), in particolare nei processi di cambiamento organizzativo. Basandosi su una metodologia di ricerca-intervento integrata con la Didattica Professionale, gli autori mostrano come i professionisti possano formarsi attraverso l’analisi della propria attività in contesto, sviluppando competenze trasversali legate alla gestione del cambiamento, alla cooperazione e all’innovazione. Il lavoro diventa così uno spazio di professionalizzazione attiva, in cui la riflessione sull’attività reale consente di trasformare le pratiche consolidando al contempo i saperi d’azione. Lo studio illustra come il lavoro, riconosciuto e attrezzato come terreno formativo, favorisca l’apprendimento in situ e contribuisca alla riconfigurazione dei ruoli professionali nei contesti industriali in trasformazione.
