Assessment
Self-assessment: through a questionnaire, participants will help identify the degree of competence in specific technology and management areas.
Individual assessment: an initial assessment and support meeting aimed at guiding the performance of knowledge transformation and implementation will be held for each participant. Through individual interview, CIM4.0 proceeds to understand the characteristics of the participant and the operational context in which he/she is placed, to assess obstacles, opportunities, and individual characteristics.
Performance is evaluated based on specific KPIs.
