Self-assessment steps

  1. Review the strategy

    Verify that an approved, up-to-date DT strategy exists and is aligned with the institutional strategy.

  2. Evaluate KPIs

    Confirm quantitative KPIs tied to DT objectives exist with a periodic monitoring mechanism.

  3. Examine the plan

    Review the roadmap for initiatives, timelines, and resource allocation.

  4. Document gaps

    Identify criteria not meeting the required level and create a phased improvement plan.

Strategy and planning form the foundation for all DT initiatives. Without a clear vision, measurable KPIs, and a detailed implementation plan, digital efforts become fragmented and ineffective.
