Sustainability transitions in manufacturing require new competences and organisational learning. This paper presents Schedazioni, a learner-led assessment tool that helps companies analyse past sustainable design actions. Developed through case studies and a Research-through-Design process, and piloted in industry, it enables teams to map transformations, identify problems, and reflect on impacts. By shifting assessment to internal sensemaking, it supports shared understanding and strengthens sustainability capability.

Abstract

Sustainability transitions in manufacturing require new competences and organisational learning. This paper presents Schedazioni, a learner-led assessment tool that helps companies analyse past sustainable design actions. Developed through case studies and a Research-through-Design process, and piloted in industry, it enables teams to map transformations, identify problems, and reflect on impacts. By shifting assessment to internal sensemaking, it supports shared understanding and strengthens sustainability capability.
