You've signed up to webinars, read white papers, attended a couple of events and looked at a few solutions — but you still feel like it's a big leap to championing a capability investment project. You're right.
The biggest risk isn't the go-live. It's what happens — or more precisely, what often doesn't happen — between "this could be better" and "we're ready to commit".
Between free vendor-driven content and expensive consultants, there is a gap. That's where the most important thinking tends to get skipped.

A structured environment where senior supply chain practitioners work through real capability decisions together — not in a conference format, not with vendors presenting, and not with a consultant running a discovery process on the clock.The people in the room are at comparable stages of comparable decisions, in organisations with comparable constraints. Conversations are structured around the actual decision in front of you: what you know, what you are assuming, what you have not yet tested, and what comparable organisations have found when they were where you are now.There are no pitches. No one in the room has a commercial interest in which direction you go. That is not a small thing — it is the thing that makes honest discussion of uncertainty possible.BPC does not tell you what to choose. It creates the conditions for you to choose well.
We work primarily with supply chain leaders at organisations usually between 200m and 5bn revenue, with high complexity but constrained bandwidth, making transformation projects particularly high-stakes.
We're for leaders who are approaching a real decision and want to make it well, not rush to a solution or outsource the thinking.
You’re likely in the right place if:
BestPractice.Club is not a fit if you’re already clear on what you want to use or are looking for lists of options.
You’ll likely be better served elsewhere if:
At each stage of a planning transformation decision, the question an honest outside perspective asks is different.
ORIENT
Is this the right project, or are we solving the presenting problem rather than the real one?
TEST ASSUMPTIONS
Is our read of the capability gap accurate, or are we about to solve the wrong problem confidently?
BUILD CONFIDENCE
Have we genuinely aligned on the direction, or just avoided the difficult conversations?
COMMIT AND SELECT
Would this plan survive scrutiny from people with no commercial interest in the answer?
The pattern described above is consolidated from many recorded conversations with supply chain and operations leaders - around eighty percent of them practitioners - over the last 5+ years. The work of making these insights genuinely context-sensitive is ongoing, but the pattern itself is consistent enough that we are confident to share it.
BestPractice.Club is free to engage with at the early stages but it is not casual.
Before you start, it’s important to be clear about what participation really involves.
There is no fee to:
You will never be asked to pay simply to access ideas, insights, or early peer discussion.
Participation does come with expectations:
As decisions move into building confidence and commit & select — where teams want deeper peer input, more structured support, or sustained engagement — some elements may be offered on a paid basis.
This reflects a shift in depth, not access:
Many sessions are practitioner-only. Others are hosted by solution providers, in formats designed to support decision-making rather than selling — including case studies, structured challenge exploration, and group demos where practitioners collectively examine a specific approach.
Providers are involved because they bring a cross-industry perspective from working across many organisations and contexts - and because better-prepared practitioners make better clients, with clearer requirements, shorter sales cycles, and fewer late-stage surprises.
Solution provider engagement is:
