Strengthening digital maturity: a practical toolkit for science organizations

The toolkit is a companion to the Harnessing “digital” for science in lower-resource settings report. It is a practical resource for science organizations to assess their digital maturity and take concrete steps to strengthen it across the seven dimensions of the ISC Digital Maturity Framework. 

The toolkit is organized into three parts:

1. Understand: Who the toolkit is for, what digital maturity means for science organizations, and how to get the most out of the resource.
2. Assess: An introduction to the ISC Digital Maturity Framework and self-assessment tool.
3. Take action: Guidance, case studies, and tools to build digital maturity in science organizations

By using this resource, science organizations can gain insights and identify practical steps to harness digital tools and ways of working in their context.
