III Workshop - Data collection procedures

III Workshop – Data collection procedures: Online Training
30 April at 12:30 – 14:30 (EEST, online) 

The CIRC-2-ZERO Project held Activity A1.5 third Workshop on 30 April. The third workshop focused on identifying data collection procedures of the final Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) refined in the second workshop of how data will be collected, structured, and operationalized for the Digital Twin Demo Platform (DTDP). 

This online workshop was internal and organized in Teams. Participants represented almost all project partners, with areas of expertise including circularity, energy, economics, and business. The participants worked in three smaller groups after the introduction of the framework logic. Like in two previous workshops, also this time participants were divided into Technical Performance, Usability and Value Impact groups. Gourps worked in breakout rooms and on shared Excel file among the given tasks. 

Groups worked on defining the data collection procedures for each selected KPI. In doing so, they addressed several key aspects: defining the data collection method, specifying what data will be collected, detailing the collection mechanism, agreeing on the timing, identifying the data sources, and assigning the level of automation. 

After this, groups had discussion the key outcomes focusing on: 

• KPIs’ readiness for use and possible adjustments needed 

• KPI formulas’ correct functioning with the available data and 

• KPIs requiring external data 

Participants prepared a summary based on the discussion and presented those to all workshop participants.  

To ensure consistency and traceability in KPI measurement, a structured data collection and operationalization framework was developed. This approach systematically defines how each KPI is measured, including the data collection method, type of data collected, collection mechanism, timing, data source and level of automation.
