LORDIMAS: A digital maturity assessment tool for regions and cities
To strengthen local and regional authorities with advanced digital
capabilities, the Local and Regional Digital Indicators framework
(LORDI) introduces LORDIMAS. This transformative digital maturity
assessment tool, a product of collaboration with Living-in.EU
[https://living-in.eu/], was officially unveiled with comprehensive
demos during online events in October
[https://regions-and-cities.europa.eu/programme/2023/sessions/4195]
and the Smart City Expo in Barcelona from November 7-9
[https://www.smartcityexpo.com/]. LORDIMAS empowers local and regional
governments across Europe to assess their digital progress, foster
open data sharing and promote more efficient governance. 

LORDIMAS
[https://living-in.eu/news/lordimas-monitoring-and-measuring-living-ineu],
a free and interactive tool, divides the digital landscape into seven
sections, guided by 29 local and regional digital indicators. It
offers local governments and data managers the ability to assess their
digital maturity and gain access to invaluable insights. What sets
LORDIMAS apart is its dynamic nature, allowing authorities to revisit
and update their data, ensuring it stays in line with the evolving
challenges and needs. The tool stands out for its unique capacity to
enable authorities to concentrate on their specific digital
objectives, moving away from generic digital roadmaps and ensuring
alignment on key smart city and data strategy concepts. 

At its core, LORDIMAS promotes data sharing, benchmarking, and
collaboration among local and regional authorities. By doing so, it
empowers users to unlock their digital potential, learn from one
another, and take decisive steps toward more efficient governance, all
while advancing open data initiatives across Europe. 

When the tool becomes available online, local, regional, and national
European authorities can leverage its transformative capabilities.
This tool not only fosters smarter, more interconnected governance but
also propels the open data movement to new heights, enabling better
decision-making and sustainable development across Europe.
