Description (EN):

Project description [max. 4 000 characters] The project aims to assist SMEs in improving competitiveness and sustainability through the CONSIDERATION solution, which includes digitalization support and an inclusive change management approach through competency development for both management and employees. It also provides tools for climate and environmental evaluation to measure and report on SMEs' own climate actions. The project is developing a Digital Strategy Development Tool and sub-tools on an open-source platform to support digital competency development for SMEs. It builds on and scale-up experiences from a project titled “Digital Pathways to Growth” (Digitale Veje til Vækst – DVV), conducted in the region of Zealand. As the project supports digital competency development by addressing motivation and training for both management and staff within different topics, the development process will involve several open seminars and workshops in which SMEs give feedback to the development of the tool(s). The intervention strategy includes developing and pilot-testing the solution, plus “training the trainers” and “Training the SMEs”, and developing a sustainable organization after the project's end. Additionally, the project will raise awareness of the solution, attract registered users, and learn from their usage. The project develops the structure and content, train the trainers, train the first round of SMEs as a pilot and evaluate the tools and concepts, while documenting and publicly communicating the findings. By the end of the project, the platform, services and provided seminars, workshops etc shall be self-sustaining through small fees (to a non-profit permanent organization) from third party services, course/seminar and workshop providers while charging for their own services, but the tools (the solution) is free for the SMEs to use. The DSDT shall be usable for SMEs by themselves. A questionnaire for management boards allows to self-evaluate the SME’s situation and use the DSDT to create a path for the strategy. Self-ownership of the strategy development for the digitalization is found important, as according to the DVV-project, if not self-owned the strategy is not being implemented. The project aims to create an open-source platform with one solution that includes a Digitalization Strategy Development Tool (DSDT) and 5 subtools. The subtools are focused on sustainability evaluation and reporting, business data management and analytics, digital business model development, skills and competency development, and didactic considerations for digital learning tools. The platform will offer various learning tools that address different learning styles, disabilities, and educational levels, using technologies such as video, storytelling, gamification, and potentially XR and drones. The project will also investigate motivation for learning, different learning styles, educational levels, and gender considerations. Altogether the solution contains 6 tools in 6 languages: English, Danish, German, Polish, Lithanian & Swedish. Furthermore, the platform contains a wide range of learning tools to build courses and learning activities. The DSDT is available for third-party service providers, who can offer customizations such as digital communication strategies, social media, and industry-specific tools. Additionally, companies can pay service providers or educational institutions for customization. The tools are open-source and can be customized. A cybersecurity tool is also under development by another project. The CONSIDERATION project has 8 partners, including 3 universities, a business college, and 4 technology parks, from Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, and Sweden. It also has a network of associate partners to help reach out to SMEs. The project aims to cooperating in research & developing tools, transferring knowledge, and reinforcing digitalization and change for sustainability.
