This was done with support of tolos provided by the advisors of the office. This document describes and improvement action plan derived from the new Project entitled Regionalization Strategy for the Internationalization Mission, with the participation of the office of the Vice Ministry of Foreign Trade. The Project stems from an initiative for the implementation of the internalization Mission for each departamento of Colombia. With respect to the above and with the objective of contributing to this initiative, a proposal for improvement and constant support in the strategies for the development of the project was created, putting into practice the knowledge acquired during the academic process of International Business at Universidad Santo Tomás. The Internationalization Mission project has as its implementation proposal a regional internationalization strategy that is divided into three products; installation of the internationalization table, launching of departmental internationalization indicators and regionalization pilot. From the stages presented, we have been granted the survey and construction in the stage of departmental internationalization indicators, where there is a weakness in the construction of the same and in turn does not have a properly established methodology to study the behavior and monitoring of the indicators in function for the departments. For this problem, a methodological proposal was designed for the indicators in which the objective of each indicator was strategically investigated in order to be able to combine and create a solid matrix of indicators that could be presented in the regional internationalization strategy, in order to carry out the follow-up of each one of the indicators for each department of Colombia and consolidate the corresponding advances for each department. With the objective of solving and proposing a methodology for the construction of the system of departmental internationalization indicators, a matrix of indicators was designed, which allows identifying: the categories of the variable, the objective of the category, the different actions of the indicators, the form of calculation, the person responsible for the information and the frequency of measurement.
