The structured framework is divided into two main horizontal sections, with a participant legend on the right. At the top is a large rounded rectangle titled “Situational evaluation”. Inside it, on the left, a smaller rounded box is labeled “Selection and structuring of I4.0 digital maturity dimensions and development of situational questionnaire”, illustrated with a group-of-people icon representing a T M T and a single-person icon representing an I4.0 Expert, and marked “Step 1”. To its right, another rounded box is labeled “Execution and analysis of survey”, illustrated with a group-of-people icon representing a T M T, a group-of-people icon representing key middle managers and a single-person icon representing an I4.0 Expert, and marked “Step 2”. Below, a second large rounded rectangle is titled “T M T alignment and formulation of key I4.0 projects”. Inside it, on the left, a rounded box is labeled “Personalized individual assessments”, illustrated with multiple single-person icons representing individual members of T M T, individual key middle managers and an I4.0 Expert , and marked “Step 3”. To its right, a larger rounded box is labeled “Achieving group consensus on current I4.0 dimensions maturity and key I4.0 projects for its improvement”, illustrated with a group-of-people icon representing a T M T, a group-of-people icon representing key middle managers and a single-person icon representing an I4.0 Expert inside a circular arrow, and marked “Step 4”. On the far right, a vertical column titled “Participants:” lists three items with icons: “Top management team” (group-of-people icon), “Key middle managers” (group-of-people icon), and “I4.0 experts” (single-person icon).The proposed approach consists of four key steps, divided into two phases. The situational evaluation phase begins with the selection of Industry 4.0 digital maturity dimensions relevant to a specific organization and concludes with the execution and analysis of individual TMT (Top Management Team) surveys. The TMT alignment and formulation of the key Industry 4.0 projects phase starts with personalized individual assessments and ends when group consensus on the dimensions' maturity is achieved, and key Industry 4.0 projects are defined.
