BestPractice.Club works with sponsors and ecosystem partners who want to help supply-chain leaders reach decision readiness faster — reducing uncertainty, avoiding costly missteps, and increasing the likelihood that change initiatives succeed.
This page explains how partners work with us across the decision journey, from early sense-making through to confident action, and how our content, online sessions, in-person meetings, and Ecosystem Partner pages fit together.
At this stage, supply-chain leaders are trying to make sense of what kind of problem they are really facing, what trade-offs are involved, and what questions they need to answer before committing time, money, or organisational attention. The goal is not speed for its own sake, but clarity that allows progress without false starts.
Partners contribute by helping operators sharpen their understanding of the decision in front of them — not by promoting solutions, but by sharing experience, patterns, and lessons learned from similar situations.
This work is published through Perspectives, our content library designed to support early sense-making and orientation.
All Perspectives are editorially shaped by BestPractice.Club to ensure they are decision-led, experience-based, and relevant across different organisational contexts. Each piece is tagged by decision stage, maturity level, and capability domain, allowing practitioners to self-navigate toward deeper engagement when ready.
Once a decision is better framed, leaders typically want to validate their thinking against reality. They are asking whether their assumptions hold, how others have approached similar challenges, and what tends to work — or fail — in practice.This stage is about reducing uncertainty through peer comparison, not finalising a solution.
Partners support this stage by helping create environments where practitioners can test ideas openly and learn from each other without pressure.This is primarily done through online discussion sessions, which:
Sessions are designed to be:
For partners, this stage helps clarify which challenges are most acute, how organisations differ in readiness, and what language practitioners use to describe their problems — all before any in-person commitment is made.
By this point, practitioners are closer to action. They are not just asking what to do, but how, when, and with what level of risk. This is where confidence, credibility, and peer validation matter most.
Partners engage through in-person meetings built around practitioner-led roundtables focused on specific decision themes.
Each roundtable:
Partners typically participate as Discussion Hosts, often alongside one or more Co-Hosts — practitioners with recent or current experience of the change being discussed.
Co-hosts play a critical role by:
Their presence helps ensure conversations remain peer-level, candid, and genuinely useful.
