In the era of digital transformation in the public sector, data have become one of the key resources for improving transparency, efficiency, and stakeholder involvement in public governance processes. Consequently, Open Public Sector Data (OPSD) and co-creation based on their use are increasingly important elements of modern public administration. However, public organizations often lag behind theoretical frameworks and best practices in their implementation. The aim of this thesis is to address the lack of accessible self-assessment tools by transforming a theoretical organizational maturity model into a practical, user-friendly, and secure software solution.
The developed application digitalizes an organizational maturity model consisting of 32 attributes grouped into eight categories. Compared to traditional static questionnaires, the application enables dynamic adjustment of attribute weights and extension of the model through the addition of new attributes, thereby increasing its adaptability to different organizational contexts. Upon completion of the self-assessment process, the system automatically calculates quantitative maturity scores and generates a qualitative PDF report containing tailored recommendations for improvement.
The application provides practical support for public organizations in assessing their readiness for co-creation based on open data and contributes to bridging the gap between theoretical models and their practical application.
