It is important to know what data we share on the web since these become our digital identity. It is important to know how, where, who and what to share, to meet our professional objectives and maintain control of this information.

My academic and professional digital identity plan has content on circular economy, architecture, engineering, and construction materials. I have devided the objectives, the value proposition, and the key activities in two aspects, professional and personal. In which I identify what I want to show, how and what I contribute. I have associated the key resources and costs according to the key activities that I need to develop for my academic and professional digital identity

Finally, I have established who my collaborators can be, to whom I want to show or who may be interested in my digital identity and how I can do it.

Hello everyone,

in this post I’ll show you the initial version of my Digital Identity Plan and the improvements I made on that.

While doing the draft of my DIP, I had the wrong understanding of the objetive of the work. At first, I though I was supposed to explain my strategy to manage, control and modify my digital identity.

After comparing with the works of my classmates and receiving feedbacks from the teachers, I realized that the goal is to show how I want to present myself to the others in the digital word, and establish how I want other people to see me.

My improved Digital Identity Plan is composed by the following parts:

• Collaborators: group of people I interact with in my professional life

• Key activities: list of actions required to mark my digital identity

• Key resources: key tools, platforms and people which help me accomplish my key activities

• Values proposition: my main characteristics and strenghts that distinguish me from the others

• Costs: needed to accomplish my key activities

• Objectives: my future career goals, which motivate me on working on my digital identity

• Target groups: people or group of people I present my digital identity to

• Channels: platforms or social medias on which my identity appears

• Contents: keywords

Thanks for your attention!

Creating my DIP was for me the most important aspect during this course. Not only I have been planning to do so since some time now, but also now more importantly than ever before applying for a PhD position I would like to have a full image of my existing digital identity and transform it into the one that I believe is presentable online. This exercise (although it scared me at first), made me step by step do a research about my digital footprint and finally, after 23 years of my life, made me realize how CRUCIAL it is to have as much ‘privacy’ on the internet as you can. Despite the fact that this task was meant specifically for academic and professional purposes, it has also helped me to develop on a personal level.

A big thanks to all my current fellow students for creating such a positive and supporting learning environment and the best of luck to all future MUEC students,

Nowadays, a digital identity influences our personal and professional lives. This is why having a DI plan is very important. Right now, my goal is to get an internship, so all of my inputs revolve around that idea. I need to plan ahead about the content and steps I’m going to take in the channels I chose to reach my goal.

The use of canvas can be very enlightening to draw an appropriate plan for many things, but I didn’t know it would help me so much with regard to my digital identity.

This tool helped me reflect on my current digital identity and define my goals around this theme. For my particular case, I want to be perceived as a changemaker by the industry – someone that will nourish the energy transition and foster green technologies and a circular economy.

LinkedIn is a powerful social network to develop this plan, but will also bring challenges as I have a varied public among my connections. I will have to carefully tailor my posts, fact-check information, and keep a diligent pace to engage my diverse audience and convey my messages. To do so, time will be my most valuable resource to be invested.

A summary of my DIP is shown below. Wish me luck in this new journey!

My DI plan in mainly focused in improved my digital image and creating usefull content about the circular economy.

The aim of my digital identity plan is to learn and be aware of my presence on the internet, as well as use that image to promote myself to potential interviewers.

With a shift to the digital world, one of the key tools today to reach certain objectives is to have a clear digital identity plan. It helps you organize, and streamline yourself while working towards your objective. My first objective is to find a Ph.D. position in the field of circular economy in the construction sector or in the field of energy storage. To achieve this, my approach would be to get in touch with my immediate professors and also take the help of my Alumni and colleagues to navigate through the opportunities. Targeting Universities for the opening of Ph.D. positions and also some research on Linked would be helpful in finding a position. Second, the objective is to find a position in a company in the field of the circular economy especially related to my area of specialization. For this, the first thing would be to enhance skills, work on the professional competencies, and a clear presentation on LinkedIn especially. Lastly, it would be great to have more suggestions and advice on my DI plan. Connect with me on LinkedIn: Utkarsh Vijay
