- Prepare an applied study connecting the research question, data, analysis, and recommendation.
- Translate strategic direction into actionable objectives and initiatives.
- Select a communication and negotiation approach that addresses interests and preserves professional relationships.
- Build performance indicators that distinguish activity completion from achievement of results.
Learning areas
1. Designing Digital Transformation and Developing Services
- Distinguish information digitization, step automation, and business model transformation, and identify the problem targeted by the digital intervention.
- Map the beneficiary journey, touchpoints, and repeated data requests, and identify opportunities for simplification before selecting technology.
- Analyze readiness across procedures, skills, data, and technical infrastructure, and document gaps and dependencies on existing systems.
- Specify solution, integration, access permission, usability, and accessibility requirements, and establish testable acceptance criteria.
- Design a limited-scope pilot with indicators for time, quality, and use, and define conditions for continuing, adjusting, or stopping. The application examines a case related to “Digital Transformation Seminar: Adopting a Digital Culture in Organizations”.
2. Applied Research, Evidence Development, and Recommendations
- Frame a research question or practical problem suitable for study, and define the subject boundaries, context, and outcome the research will support.
- Review sources relevant to the question, assess their reliability and currency, and distinguish direct evidence from opinion and inference.
- Select an appropriate method, instrument, and sample, explaining limitations and obtaining approvals and protecting privacy when collecting data from people.
- Organize and analyze data and relate findings to the question, avoiding generalizations unsupported by the sample or causal conclusions based only on correlation.
- Write specific, actionable recommendations with responsibilities, resources, and indicators, and include source documentation and limitations of conclusions in the applied report.
3. Strategy Formulation and Prioritization
- Analyze the internal and external environment using available data, and distinguish opportunities from assumptions that require verification.
- Define a specific strategic problem and connect it to the organization's mission and the value sought by beneficiaries and stakeholders.
- Set measurable objectives with a baseline, target, and time horizon, and assign a clear owner to each objective.
- Prioritize initiatives according to impact, feasibility, resources, risks, and interdependencies, explaining the reasons for the trade-offs.
- Build an implementation roadmap covering phases, owners, resources, review gates, and a mechanism for adjusting priorities when circumstances change.
4. Professional Communication, Negotiation, and Conflict Management
- Analyze the communication objective, audience, context, and sensitivity, and select the channel, message, and timing to support the intended result.
- Practice listening, checking understanding, and questioning, and distinguish facts from interpretations and personal assumptions.
- Identify the parties' interests, limits, alternatives, and comparison criteria, and prepare a list of negotiable points.
- Handle objections and disagreements by reframing the problem, generating alternatives, and documenting agreements.
- Simulate a communication or negotiation situation, assess message clarity and response quality, and plan improvements for subsequent practice.
5. Performance Measurement and Continuous Improvement
- Define the intended result and its beneficiary, and distinguish indicators of inputs, activities, outputs, and impact.
- Define each indicator's formula, unit of measurement, data source, update frequency, and responsibility for collection and verification.
- Select a baseline, realistic target, and alert thresholds, and review data quality before interpreting deviations from the target.
- Analyze the causes of performance gaps and link them to corrective actions with specified owners, deadlines, resources, and closure verification methods.
- Design a review meeting covering trends, decisions, and open actions, and track improvement over more than one measurement cycle.
Practical outputs
- A digital transformation roadmap covering the beneficiary journey and implementation requirements.
- An applied research plan, data collection tool, and findings and recommendations report.
