Abstract

Introduction: Digital transformation implies a change in people, as an evolutionary process that leads to innovation, reinvention and adaptation in all areas of knowledge, through the integration of information and communication technologies, which leads to the modification of culture and organization. 

Objective: To explore the perception of professionals and managers of the National School of Public Health in the execution of actions aimed at the acquisition of knowledge that contributes to digital transformation.

Methods: Theoretical and empirical methods were used that respected ethical aspects, according to the Declaration of Helsinki. 

Results: When applying the SWOT matrix, insufficiencies were identified and a deficient use of computerized resources that are part of the development strategy of the National School of Public Health could be appreciated. The developed applications do not yet have the expected impact due to internal and external factors. 

Conclusions: The research allowed us to explore the perception of professionals and managers of the National School of Public Health about the necessary digital transformation, as part of the process of evolution and development of the institution; which laid bare the internal and external factors that limit their progress. The exercise made it possible to build, as a whole, a more inclusive and compromising vision, which led to the proposal of concrete actions, based on the deficiencies identified and with a horizon towards 2030, aimed, fundamentally, at continuing to promote the adoption of competencies and skills in the use of ICT in substantive processes and in this way, Move forward consciously, through staged planning and implementing corrective actions.
