Rethinking human-tech skill complementarity
“A dynamic, multi-level synergy between human skills and technology capabilities, in which both reinforce and support each other across task, role, team, and organisational contexts, enhancing task performance and organisational efficiency.
This complementarity depends not only on the functional attributes of the technology and the alignment of human skills but also on environmental factors, organisational support, and user behaviours related to active/passive technology usage.”
Bridging the gap: rethinking skills in the age of human-tech collaboration
As digital transformation accelerates, the conversation around the future of work is no longer about whether machines will replace humans, but how they can work together. The TechConnect project is addressing this shift head-on with a groundbreaking conceptual framework: Human-Tech Skill Complementarity.

Rethinking Human-Tech Collaboration
The Human-Tech Skill Complementarity Conceptual Framework (D1.1) is a vital step towards understanding the critical interplay between human skills and emerging digital technologies, focusing on the ‘affordance gap’—the disconnect between how new technologies are intended to be used versus how they are used in practice.
