Abstract: The current paper aims to identify the individual competencies of collaborators in Industry 4.0 projects. We used the Delphi method with three rounds as a research methodology. Sixty-three experts engaged with Industry 4.0 projects, professionals and academics, participated in the study. A set of individual competencies related to Industry 4.0 was identified: 1) technical (technical skills, systemic process comprehension, IT security skills, project management tendency, analytical skills, and business knowledge); 2) personal (flexibility, learning motivation, decision-making, ambiguity tolerance, and ability to work under pressure); 3) methodological (creativity, digital mindset, and entrepreneur thinking); 4) social aspects (communication skills, team-working skills, being committed and proactive, conflict resolution, and leadership skills). The findings led to a list of competencies for project managers and other team members in the Industry 4.0' context. This result provides new insights related to personnel development in project-managed environments and educational guidance for the future workforce.
