BestPractice.Club

How sequencing matters by capability

Strategy, resilience & sustainability: clarifying long-term direction before locking in structural change.
Planning & control: ensuring process, data and incentives align before system commitments.
Customer service: balancing service ambition with cost and operational stability.
Logistics & execution: reshaping networks and flow without creating fragility.
Production: aligning capacity, variability and planning discipline.
Supply & procurement: managing supplier relationships and risk exposure during change.
Data & analytics: strengthening foundations before layering advanced capability.

How it works (the short version)

One step at a time

Clarify the decision
Identify the specific transformation decision you are working through.
Identify the decision stage
Determine whether your are orienting, testing assumptions, building confidence or ready to commit.
Surface what matters now
See the risks, trade-offs and patterns that tend to matter most at this stage.
Connect with relevant peers
Engage with leaders in comparable contexts through case studies, structured online discussions, in-person working meetings and curated one-to-one introductions.
Engage solution providers appropriately
When requirements are defined, explore relevant providers in formats aligned to your stage and specific context.

Who it's for

BestPractice.Club is 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:

you’re leading a strategy, planning, production, logistics, procurement or data transformation.
you need to deliver measurable impact.
the right sequence of change isn't obvious.
you value peer challenge and insight before committing time, money, or credibility.

Who it's not for

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:

you want a directory, marketplace, or comparison site to browse solutions
you’re looking to engage vendors before clarifying requirements, constraints, and success criteria
you want market perspective or trend signals without progressing toward a specific decision
you expect recommendations rather than structured exploration and peer challenge
you want a third party to run discovery and decide on your behalf
you’re not working toward a real decision in the next 3–12 months

What you get

You leave with:

a clear view of what matters at your current stage.
visibility of the assumptions and trade-offs shaping performance.
perspectives from peers who have navigated similar planning, execution or data transformations.
practical next steps before committing budget, systems or organisational change.

The aim is not to tell you what to choose, but to help you choose well.

Cost and commitment

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.

What it costs today

There is no fee to:

start a decision assessment
participate in open practitioner sessions
explore challenges with peers at the orient and test assumptions stages

You will never be asked to pay simply to access ideas, insights, or early peer discussion.

What we ask of you

Participation does come with expectations:

Time
Sessions are designed for focused, decision-relevant discussion, not background listening.
Candour
The value comes from honest discussion of constraints, trade-offs, and uncertainty — not polished success stories.
Contribution
This is not content consumption. Everyone in the room is invited to engage, question, and share.
Boundaries
No self-promotion. No abuse of trust. Conversations are protected so members can speak openly (i.e. the Chatham House Rule).

How costs may evolve later

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:

early stages are open by design
later stages involve more structure, time, and facilitation.‍

How solution providers fit

Some 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 broad, cross-industry perspective from working across many organisations and contexts. That experience can be highly valuable when decisions are still forming.

Solution provider engagement is:

Transparent and explicit
Structured around practitioner priorities
Aligned to defined requirements and stage of decision.
