We focus on planning because that is where our evidence is deepest but the decisions that matter rarely stay inside planning’s boundaries. If you are working through how your organisation senses demand, balances supply, coordinates across functions, or builds control that scales, you're in the right place.
BestPractice.Club connects senior practitioners facing comparable decisions to understand what typically works... and where programmes tend to get stuck.
No pressure. No pitches. Just best practice insights grounded in what works for your unique context.
We work primarily with planning, S&OP and supply chain leaders at organisations usually between 200m and 5bn revenue, with high complexity but constrained bandwidth, making transformation decisions 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:
You leave with:
The aim is not to tell you what to choose, but to help you choose well.
At each stage of a planning transformation decision, the question an honest outside perspective asks is different.
ORIENT
Is this the right project?
TEST ASSUMPTIONS
What is our true capability gap - and are we solving the right problem?
BUILD CONFIDENCE
Have we genuinely aligned, 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 not a framework borrowed from a textbook. It is consolidated from more than two thousand 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 to share with confidence.
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:
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 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:
