This paper introduces a systematic literature review as a tool for both training (TNA) and learning (LNA) needs analyses. Additionally, given the systematic approach it presents findings on core skills in ICT industries obtained using both academic and grey literature analyses applied few and far between by scholars. In particular, the aim of the paper is to show systematic literature review as valuable not only in an academic field (namely for scientists, scholars, and researchers) but also for practitioners. Therefore, it is claimed to be useful for companies interested in employees’ development and training as well as for educational institutions interested in tailoring of their training programs and educational offer to business requirements and students’ needs.

Artykuł przedstawia systematyczny przegląd literatury jako wartościowe narzędzie identyfikacji potrzeb szkoleniowych (Training Needs Analysis) oraz analizy potrzeb edukacyjnych (Learning Needs Analysis). Dodatkowo, wykorzystując podejście systematyczne, artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań dotyczących kluczowych umiejętności w sektorach teleinformatycznych (ICT), przeprowadzonych nie tylko na podstawie analizy literatury akademickiej, ale także literatury szarej, która jest rzadko stosowana przez badaczy w ogóle, natomiast w Polsce dotychczas była wykorzystywana niezwykle rzadko. Celem artykułu jest w szczególności przedstawienie systematycznego przeglądu literatury jako użytecznego narzędzia analitycznego znajdującego zastosowanie nie tylko w obszarze akademickim (badacze, naukowcy), ale również w praktyce gospodarczej. W opracowaniu przyjęto, iż rzeczone narzędzie znajduje uzasadnione zastosowanie w przedsiębiorstwach ukierunkowanych na rozwój i szkolenie pracowników, jak również w instytucjach edukacyjnych zorientowanych na opracowanie oraz dostosowanie programów szkoleniowych i oferty edukacyjnej do aktualnych potrzeb czy wymagań praktyki gospodarczej.
