For Buyers and Suppliers in the Value Chain
Implementation guidance is broken into three phases (crawl, walk, run) that provide a mechanism to safely transition from low cost pilots to full scale production implementations with decision points (proceed, pivot, pause) at each stage gate.
| Phase | Focus | Outcome | Dependency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery (crawl) | Familiarisation with UNTP. Assessment of scope and value. | Manually created trial digital credentials exchanged with a small number of trading partners. Business case for Alpha phase ready for decision. | None |
| Alpha (walk) | Validation of integration cost & complexity. Validation of scope and value | Automated creation and verification of digital credentials from natural business systems (test environments). Ready to scale. Go/NoGo decision ready | Community Activation Program has commenced. |
| Beta (run) | Managed expansion to full scale implementation for all products, facilities, and partners | Realisation and reporting of ongoing value | Successful testing and trial using production systems |
Discovery Phase (Crawl)
| Step | Activity | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Map cost & benefit categories using business case template | Raw case for implementation |
| 2 | Map sustainability categories | Prioritised sustainability criteria scope |
| 3 | Map value chain scope | Pilot product and participant scope |
| 4 | Create identities | Got usable DIDs |
| 5 | Create sample DPPs using reference implementation | Got a realistic DPP for one product |
| 6 | Verify supplier DPPs | Upstream supply visibility |
| 7 | Map supplier DPPs to corporate disclosures | Prove scope 3 feasibility |
| 8 | Create transformation event | Supplier DPP is linked to my DPP |
| 9 | Add conformity credential | Add 3rd party verification to my DPP |
| 10 | Create & publish links | Made my DPP discoverable |
| 11 | Encrypt one supplier DPP & create secure link | Prove that confidential information can be selectively disclosed |
| 12 | Provide QR to customer | Test customer perception of value |
| 13 | Revisit & refine business case | Case (or not) for Alpha phase |
| 14 | Declare implementation intent | public marketing of your commitment |
Alpha Phase (Walk)
| Step | Activity | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Engage with activated community | Achieve consistency in implementation across a commodity and/or geographic sector |
