Measuring the digital transformation maturity level independently with the design science research methodology

Abstract

This study uses the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) approach in creating an artifact on the perspective of the Information System. Design Science as a valuable tool for creating a new artifact or developing an existing artifact through research. The DSRM Framework described in this study discusses the implementation of each stage, namely, Explicated Problem, Define Requirement, Design and Development, Demonstration, and Evaluation and is complemented by the implementation of case studies of artifact creation in DSRM stages. The Digital Maturity Measurement in question is a service to measure digital maturity in various dimensions. Each DSRM stage is mapped to a case study of that service. Canvas visualization is presented to describe a complete picture of how the artifacts of Digital maturity services are built with the DSRM approach. This research also provides guidance on the principles, procedures, and characteristics needed to build effective research.
