Abstracts

PL

W artykule omówiono politykę Unii Europejskiej dotyczącą transformacji cyfrowej i związany z nią potencjał rozwojowy. Celem pracy jest krytyczna analiza postępu, jaki dokonuje się obecnie w zakresie operacjonalizacji i wdrażania odpowiednich polityk. Ponadto zidentyfikowano wyzwania, które mogą mieć negatywny wpływ na osiągnięcie koniecznych celów strategicznych, oraz przeszkody mogące utrudniać realizację przyjętych polityk. Jako szczególne utrudnienie postrzega się znaczny niedobór ekspertów przygotowanych do pełnienia nowych funkcji w dynamicznie rozwijającym się ekosystemie danych. Znaczącym przykładem jest rola data stewarda, kluczowa dla wsparcia szybkiego rozwoju ekosystemu danych w UE. Zaproponowano stworzenie uniwersalnych ram kompetencji dla data stewardów w celu usprawnienia zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. W artykule przedstawiono podstawowy zarys niezbędnych umiejętności i kompetencji zapewniających efektywne zarządzanie danymi.

The article discusses EU policy for digital transformation and the associated development potential. The article aims to critically analyse the current progress of the operationalisation and implementation of the relevant policies. It is followed by the recognition of the challenges that can contribute negatively to the necessary strategic objectives and obstacles that may hinder reaching the policy goals. In particular, a significant obstacle may be a major deficiency of adequately prepared experts ready to work in new roles in a dynamically developing data ecosystem. A remarkable example is the role of the Data Steward. This role is essential for fostering the rapid development of the data ecosystem in the EU. We propose creating a universal competence framework for Data Stewards to streamline human resource allocation. The article proposes a basic outline of the necessary skills and competencies ensuring effective data stewardship.
