Module 6: Capstone: Preparing Your Organisation

Overview

This module does not teach anything new. The five modules before it built a vocabulary, a way of placing your organisation in the value chain, a picture of what a passport has to contain, a model of how it works in practice, and a way of reading timing. This module puts all of that to work on one product and produces an artefact: a readiness position, a sequence of first actions, and a brief a decision maker could actually act on.

If a module can be described as “read this and understand it”, this one cannot. It can only be described as “do this and produce something”. The lessons are shorter on new material and longer on worked examples and practice for exactly that reason.

Estimated completion time: 45 minutes. Three lessons of 12, 12 and 11 minutes, plus a ten question assessment of about 10 minutes.

Learning Objectives

Module learning objectives

By the end of this lesson you should be able to:

  1. M6-O1Produce a first readiness position for one product line and defend it.
  2. M6-O2Sequence your first three actions and justify the order.
  3. M6-O3Identify your single biggest data gap and the evidence for it.
  4. M6-O4State what you would need from suppliers, and when to ask for it.
  5. M6-O5Brief a decision maker on your position in five sentences.

Every objective is tested. Each assessment question is tagged to one of the five.

Canonical Reading

This module teaches from two canonical articles. Both are the authoritative texts and remain free and open to everyone:

The lessons add sequence, framing, examples and practice. They do not restate the regulatory content, and they never introduce a date, article number or citation that is not in the source articles.

Frameworks Used

TBF-011, The Digital Product Passport Readiness Model, and TBF-031, The Digital Product Passport Implementation Roadmap. The first gives you five dimensions to state a position against. The second gives you gated stages to sequence actions against. Full descriptions in the framework registry.

The Running Case Product

Every Foundations module uses one product so the examples accumulate rather than reset.

The Aurelia S2 cordless hedge trimmer. A mid-price consumer power tool with a removable lithium-ion battery pack, a moulded polymer housing, and a woven textile shoulder strap. It is manufactured under contract in Vietnam, imported into the EU by the brand owner’s Dutch entity, and sold through both retail and direct channels. By this module, the S2’s readiness position, its sequenced actions and its brief are all worked in full, so you can compare your own against a complete example.

Completion

The module is complete when all three lessons are marked complete and the assessment is passed at the Foundations pass mark of 80 percent. Retakes are unlimited and your best score is kept. Progress is saved on this device.
