Abstract

The recent development of digitization has significantly influenced various sectors of the economy, and the Industrial Craft Sector is no exception. The transition to digital technologies and processes is inevitable and holds the potential for increasing efficiency and creating competitive advantages. This research used the Design Science methodology to develop a Digital Mindset Competence Model. This model comprises eight dimensions specifically tailored to the requirements and challenges of the Industrial Craft Sector. These dimensions aim to promote and strengthen the digital mindset among professionals in the Industrial Craft Sector. To ensure the validity and relevance of this model, experts from the Industrial Craft Sector were involved in a qualitative methodology. The combination of scientific methodology and practical experience ensures a comprehensive perspective and guarantees the applicability of the developed model. The results of this research underscore the importance of digital transformation in the Industrial Craft Sector and the necessity of a digital mindset. The developed Digital Mindset Competence Model provides a targeted approach to promoting digital competencies in the Industrial Craft Sector and guides future developments in this area. It becomes evident that an appropriate digital mindset is essential to optimally leverage the potentials of digitization in the Industrial Craft Sector and successfully navigate continuous change. This scholarly contribution contributes to raising awareness of the significance of a digital mindset in the Industrial Craft Sector. It forms a basis for further investigations and practical applications within digital transformation.
