Cristiano Quattrini — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective explores how the European Digital Product Passport (DPP) will redefine transparency, traceability, and compliance across the retail value chain. Mandated under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the DPP will require every product sold in the European Union to carry standardized digital data on its materials, origin, and life cycle. The report analyzes the policy, technological, and organizational implications for retailers and highlights variations in market readiness across key European countries and retail subverticals.

“The Digital Product Passport marks a turning point in European retail, transforming sustainability compliance into a data-driven engine of transparency, efficiency, and trust. Retailers that integrate DPP frameworks into their digital core will move beyond regulatory readiness to redefine customer engagement and operational excellence across the value chain.” — Cristiano Quattrini, senior associate advisor, IDC Retail Insights

Global Skills Frameworks: Structuring the IT Workforce and Managing Role Evolution

Daniel Saroff — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective discusses global frameworks — SFIA, e-CF, SFw, and KWIV — that are fundamental tools for managing the modern IT workforce by providing detailed, standardized definitions for skills and competencies. Organizations must move past relying on simple job descriptions, which are mere distillations, and implement formal processes utilizing these frameworks to provide the comprehensive documentation required for a role or position. Crucially, systematic monitoring must be applied to detect and address role drift caused by individual interpretation, ensuring the workforce capabilities remain strategically aligned and defined.

"As IT organizations mature, structure becomes strategy. Standardized skills frameworks such as SFIA and e-CF give CIOs the tools to manage talent with the same rigor they apply to technology portfolios — linking capability, accountability, and innovation across a dynamic workforce," says Daniel Saroff, group vice president for Consulting and Research at IDC.
