La Colombia, come l'Italia, è un paese la cui l'economia è in gran parte guidata da piccole e medie imprese, ma nonostante l’avanzare della tecnologia, le loro prestazioni, produzione e crescita sono rimaste tendenzialmente stagnanti. Solo le imprese che hanno compreso l’importanza dell’innovazione e hanno applicato tecnologie inserite nella “Digital Transformation” stanno facendo progressi. Una delle ragioni più critiche per cui queste imprese non hanno ancora iniziato questo cambiamento di ideologia è dovuta alla mancanza di conoscenza specifica, di supporto adeguato e di consapevolezza che la trasformazione non è solo tecnologica ma soprattutto culturale. La ricerca si è concentrata sullo studio del tessuto imprenditoriale Colombiano, sulle sue necessità e su ciò che il governo offre per affrontare il cambiamento. Le informazioni esistenti sono abbondanti, ma non accessibili a tutti e le imprese continuano ad investire in tecnologia per sostenere il passaggio al lavoro remoto e all’automazione, senza rendersi conte che non è più sufficiente. Per capire meglio lo scenario è stato necessario intervistare gli stakeholder che hanno fatto emergere chiaramente come nell’immaginario collettivo degli imprenditori ci sono ancora moltissimi preconcetti su ciò che significa Trasformazione Digitale. È comune che sia associata ad una serie di miti che confondono e vengono trasmessi di bocca in bocca, creando un panorama di disinformazione. Da questi insight è nato il progetto “Mitos Digitales” che si pone l'obiettivo di fare cultura sulle opportunità offerte dalla trasformazione digitale e di mettere in contatto gli imprenditori con i facilitatori in grado di supportarli nel processo.

Abstract
Colombia is a country whose economy is largely driven by SMEs companies, but with the advance of technology, their production and growth is stagnating. Only companies that have understood the importance of innovation and have applied technologies framed in the DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION are making progress. One of the most critical reasons why these companies have not yet begun to go through this change of ideology is due to the lack of knowledge and support. The information is abundant but it is not compiled in a single digital site, where anyone can find it. Companies will continue to invest in technology to support the shift towards remote work and automation, but that is no longer enough. One of the most relevant findings when talking to various stakeholders, has been to understand that in the collective imagination of entrepreneurs, there are misconceptions about what DT means. It is common that this concept is framed in a series of myths that confuse and are transferred from voice to voice, creating a panorama of misinformation. That is why, I took on the challenge of creating a digital strategy that brings together in one place the dimensions that are part of the DT. The objective is to demystify the preconceived ideas of entrepreneurs so they can understand that their perception of digital reality has been created under ideas that do not correspond to the truth. Therefore, to achieve this change of mentality, a common and direct language will be used in order to make people feel identified with their false ideas about the concept and as a result, they will experience a desire to explore further. In this website called “Mitos Digitales”, entrepreneurs will be able to understand the concept, its components, benefits, the most popular technology, success stories and a collection of deconstructed myths. Finally, they can find some resources in terms of training and financial aid that the government and private organizations in Colombia are providing to help SMEs.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
