This Milestone 3.3 report for DiSSCo Prepare Work Package 3 Task 3.1 is intended to update and be read alongside the Milestone 3.1 report ‘Improving Digital Capability - Case Studies and Analysis’ (Hardy et al, Dec 2020). It builds on the previous report by addressing additional case study examples of competency frameworks; carrying out further work to examine public sources of competency data about individuals in line with the next steps previously identified; and examining two digital maturity self-assessment tools to draw out learning that has informed Milestone 3.2 ‘Blueprint for a digital maturity self-assessment tool’. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

This Milestone 3.2 report for DiSSCo Prepare Work Package 3 Task 3.1 sets out the initial design blueprint for a DiSSCo Digital Maturity Self-Assessment Tool, building on the analyses in the Milestone 3.1 report ‘Improving Digital Capability - Case Studies and Analysis’ (Hardy et al, Dec 2020) and in the Milestone 3.3. Report, including consideration of two existing tools in our sector. This tool is intended to support teams, institutions and national nodes in developing organisational readiness for provision of the DiSSCo services and data, helping them to identify and target areas for improvement. The aim is for this to tie in to future provision of training and support, as well as helping to identify the gaps at aggregate level where that training may be most useful. In addition , we believe there is a case for a platform that can support both this and the related Task 7.3 Policy Tool, such that these or other tools are consistent for users and can interact with one another where relevant, avoiding any duplication. This blueprint is intended for wider discussion among the DiSSCo members, so that tool content can be developed in more detail as part of the Deliverable for this Task info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

This report aims to describe the proposed content for a DiSSCo Digital Maturity Self-Assessment Tool, to support development and discussion with potential users. It defines the levels against which users will assess (‘score’) their current and target capability under each category; defines the categories and subcategories that will form the structure of the tool questions / assessment; provides full text examples of category content - i.e. the text that will be seen by users to guide them in identifying the right current and target levels for their team or institution’s capability in that category; and provides more depth about the requirements for accessing the tool (registration etc) and the reports that the tool might generate. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

This Deliverable report summarises the key insights and recommendations from DiSSCo Prepare Task 3.1, which looked at digital skills, competencies and capabilities across individuals and organisations, as part of the wider Work Package on capacity enhancement. This task looked at insights from previous DiSSCo linked projects; a wide range of competency framework examples; sources of data about individual and organisational capabilities; and capacity building for organisations leading to the key recommendation of a DiSSCo Digital Maturity Tool. These insights are already being used as inputs to other Tasks in DiSSCo Prepare, showing the key role of capability in the broadest sense in underpinning the DiSSCo digital transformation. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
