The National Plan for Digital School (PNSD) is a fundamental pillar of the Good School Reform (Law no. 107/2015), which reflects the Government's position re-spect to most important challenges of the innovation in public schools. The Plan is focused on the strengthening of digital skills and on the extension of the concept of the school from physical location to virtual learning space where the teaching and the planning can be made anywhere. The Plan has a long-term value and it traces the guidelines of the future school towards a path of innovation and digitalization. In this context of change of the Digital Society it is essential to introduce managerial models that help schools to develop competences in strategic management control useful to plan and monitor the investment in digital technologies. The paper presents an integrated framework that analyses and measures the innovation introduced by the PNSD and its performance through appropriate indicators and measurement tools.

Keywords: PNSD, digital school, indicators, performance, innovation, BSC, EFQM.
