Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Introduction: This project evaluates digital competencies in the business sector, focusing on the employees in managerial positions at the company Inmobiliaria Viviendas y Valores S.A. in Cúcuta, Colombia. The approach of this study is based on evaluating these competencies using the internationally recognized DIGCOMP framework, adapted to the specific needs of the company.
Objective: The main objective of this project is to determine the level of digital competence of the managerial employees at Inmobiliaria Viviendas y Valores S.A. using the European Union’s DIGCOMP framework, tailored to the company’s specific training program.
Methodology: The methodology employed in this study follows a quantitative approach. A questionnaire based on the DIGCOMP Portal and the Ikanos Test was used to assess the digital competencies of the managerial employees. The data collection provided information on various digital competencies, which were analyzed to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the use of digital tools and problem-solving, among others.
Results: The results show that the managerial employees have strengths in using digital tools and resolving technology-related problems. However, areas for improvement were identified in aspects such as online security and digital creativity. Additionally, the high standard deviation in some competencies suggests that the impact of the training course varied among participants. Some employees showed significant improvements, while others experienced more modest advances.
Conclusions: The conclusions of the study emphasize the importance of evaluating digital competencies within organizations to identify training and professional development needs. This process not only helps improve individual skills but also drives the company’s digital transformation, contributing to improved efficiency and competitiveness in the market. Ongoing evaluation of these competencies is crucial for making informed decisions about the design of training programs and ensuring that the organization can successfully adapt to the digital challenges of the business environment.
