Future Skills in comparison

Future Skills – such as critical thinking, digital maturity, or innovative capacity – are more in demand than ever across education, policy, and business worldwide. At the same time, the diversity of frameworks and models often leads to confusion: Which approach suits whom, and which competencies are truly needed?

Our comparison portal provides clarity. At a glance, you gain a clear and systematic overview of (inter)national Future Skills approaches, including concepts from universities, businesses, policy initiatives, and NGOs. This allows you to:

• Read expert reviews and profiles of the different approaches ("Approaches & Reviews")

• Explore competencies by approach ("Competence Library")

• Filter by topics such as "Critical Thinking" or "Intercultural Competence" ("Competence Navigator")

• Compile your personal list of competencies from all models ("Configurator")

Our independent reviews address key questions such as:

• What methods do the models use?

• Which theories and methodologies are they based on?

• What values and visions for the future underpin them?
