Seven organisations from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Greece and Italy have collaboratively developed the online learning tool on the topic ‘Digital Transformation’ within the scope of an EU project.
All partners contributed to the success of the project under emcra GmbH’s project leadership. The project management method PRINCE2 was selected for the implementation of the project.
Five partners are equipped with the necessary expertise for preparing the project’s results. They have particular expert knowledge in the following areas: digital transformation and digitalisation, project management, change management, risk management, knowledge management, organisational development and quality management. Furthermore, there is comprehensive knowledge on hand in the areas of occupational training in Europe, e-learning, certification and programming.
The project’s target group, small and medium-sized enterprises, is represented in the project consortium by a chamber of commerce and industry, a chamber of crafts, and a professional association. Together, these represent more than 12,000 potential users of the project results.
