Digital transformation

The entire global context is going through a phase of digital transformation, which interest every economic, cultural and social area.

The reflections on the forms and on intensity that assume the social interactions in the ongoing transition, are only part of the contexts in which the revolutionary and transformative power of digital emerges.

The whole of our way of relating to the world is under discussion, in a process imposed by digital, of a constant and swirling adaptation and re-adaptation of relational and social dynamics.

It is a transformation that place us as individuals in a radically new position toward to "digital platforms" active in the global context, but also generates a particularly significant effect in the economy and in society as a whole.

The deepening of the impact of digital transformation for individuals is analyzed by investigating and developing at the same time the problematic effects and the opportunities that open up for the Italian economic system. The analytical knowledge of the processes, beyond the framework of perceived phenomenology, is essential condition for the activation of a framework of systemic interventions to support the territories useful to promote local and global competitiveness in the context of digital transition. The introduction of digital technologies is a 'need' to keep up with the times, improve productivity and face international competition and to determine the choices aren't nor the framework theoretic, in light of the implications related to complexity and criticality of the phenomena, nor the structure of the managerial and employment processes distorted by the emergence of the new economic players of the so-called digital economy. From the operational point of view Piemonte2029 has already made a reconnaissance of all the projects inherent the Turin' University, for a total of 248 projects and has activated a working group with researchers coming from both UniTo and PoliTo collecting adhesions from numerous external stakeholders. In this sense, the IC4KI is already planning collaboration agreements and is preparing a project proposal for an EU call (within the Horizon 2020 ICT call) which forecast the financing of a network of multidisciplinary clusters for innovation ICT that includes research, enterprises and territory.

In order, not to be spectators of this evolution but protagonists, it's necessary to put in place proactive actions, defining the ways of solutions to be undertaken.
