Subtitle:DiSSCo Prepare WP3 – Milestone 3.1
A critical factor in the success of the Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) will be the capacity enhancement necessary to scale up our digital operations, from leadership and infrastructure competency to digitisation capability and beyond. Task 3.1 in Work Package 3 seeks to address this in both human and organisational terms: analysing case studies and examples in this
report, as a first step towards developing the tools or dashboards for development of individual digital competencies and to measure and raise institutional digital maturity. This is needed to underpin new DiSSCo services and support the required digital transformation to deliver and use DiSSCo outcomes. Our approaches need to be sufficiently flexible to be used by organisations of
very varied size and scope, including the option to obtain or develop capacity via third parties.
WP3 draws upon the portfolio of other DiSSCo-linked projects (ICEDIG, SYNTHESYS+ and MOBILISE COST Action), as well as providing insights that are essential to other DiSSCo work packages, including WP 2, 5, 6, and 7. This report analyses the relevant outputs of the previous projects in this context. It also examines case studies and best practice in competency frameworks and in
organisational digital transformation, from within and beyond the natural science collections sector. The conclusions of this report will inform Milestone 3.2, a prototype dashboard or tool(s), which will then be developed further into the full digital and data competencies framework for individuals and institutions envisaged under this Task (July 2021). This document also brings forward aspects of Milestone 3.3 of this task, by delivering case studies - as identified under Next
Steps, however, further analyses of key and additional examples will be required.
