    How?

    Connect

    Specify your current best practice interest areas in a few clicks. Update anytime.

    Club

    We match people with similar remits from similar businesses who are tackling the same best practice challenges.

    Invite

    When there's a relevant activity, we invite you directly and privately, with insights on fellow participants in advance.

    Impact

    Zero-in on actual challenges and solutions during interactive sessions (online & in-person) for actionable insights.

    Why?

    The most productive best practice exchanges happen in a 'Goldilocks zone' when participants are not too similar and not too different. 
    Fresh - but relevant - perspectives are discovered and lateral thinking flows.

    "A great mix of scale of business, industries and experience. I love the format of structured 121s with peers. I came to this with a real lack of understanding of the potential for AI, so this was an eye opener for me." 
    - Dan Bird, Abcam

    "Realised that others are also operating with a high degree of uncertainty following not just external macro economics dynamics but structural changes taking place internally. Clarity on the 3 problems we a trying to solve."
    - Angelo Bernardinello, LSA International

    "[Discussions were the] best bit… Great to share and get each other's input and insight."
    - Adam Grimwood, AB Agri 

    "Was a great session and got some good information out of the day." 
    - Lee Crowhurst, Cranfield Aerospace

    "Sessions were insightful and good to see a range of speakers from different industries and consultancy as well as practitioners. Personal agenda is very helpful and also seeing who else will be joining the sessions is beneficial." 
    - Matt Normington, LEGO

    "Very informative and good to hear real life experiences not just theory. I felt my time was being treated as important and not being wasted. Made some good contacts and shared some valuable tips. Great fun at the end." 
    - Alan Clarke, Landmann

    "A very worthwhile day. A really great bunch of attendees and good roundtable discussions. I am going to try and push forward some AI initiatives…start small and grow." 
    - Damian Bates, Atlas Copco

    "Definitely some good insights and ideas out of the day – so onus on me to put these into practice."
    - Jon Corcoran, Haleon
