Although there are already some qualification offers available for enterprises to support resource efficiency innovations, the high potentials that can be identified especially for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have not been activated until now. As successful change lies in the hands of humans, the main aim of vocational education has to be the promotion of organisational and cultural changes in the enterprises. As there is already a small but increasing number of enterprises that perform very well in resource efficiency innovations one question arises: What are typical characteristics of those enterprises? Leaning on a good-practice approach, the project "ResourceCulture" is going to prove or falsify the hypothesis that enterprises being successful with resource efficiency innovations have a specific culture of trust, which substantially contributes to innovation processes, or even initially enables them. Detailed empirical field research will light up which correlations between resource efficiency, innovation and cultures of trust can be found and will offer important aspects for the improvement of management instruments and qualification concepts for workplace training. The project seizes qualification needs that were likewise mentioned by enterprises and consultants, regarding the implementation of resource efficiency. This article - based on first empirical field research results - derives preliminary indications for the design of the qualification module for the target groups resource efficiency consultants and managers. On this basis and in order to implement "ResourceCulture" conceptual and methodological starting points for workplace training are outlined.
虽然已经有一些资格认证可供企业支持资源效率创新，但迄今为止，尚未激活特别是针对中小企业（SMEs）的高潜力。由于成功的变革取决于人类，职业教育的主要目标必须是促进企业的组织和文化变革。由于已经有一小部分但越来越多的企业在资源效率创新方面表现出色，因此出现了一个问题：这些企业的典型特征是什么？项目“ResourceCulture”以良好实践方法为基础，旨在证明或证伪这样一个假设，即成功实施资源效率创新的企业具有信任的特定文化，这种文化对创新过程有实质性的贡献，甚至可以使其最初成为可能。详细的实证研究将揭示资源效率、创新和信任文化之间存在哪些相关性，并为改进管理工具和工作场所培训资格概念提供重要方面。该项目抓住了企业和顾问在实施资源效率方面提到的资格需求。本文——基于初步的实证研究结果——为资源效率顾问和经理这两个目标群体的资格认证模块的设计得出了初步的设计指示。在此基础上，并为了实施“ResourceCulture”，工作场所培训的概念和方法学起点被概述出来。
