WHAT GOOD✦practice looks like!✦
Guidance on the parts of the job that are hard to look up: the first ninety days in a new function, convergence that survives contact with the organisation, supplier assessment that tells you something, twenty minutes in front of a board. Each resource is a short sequence of modules, written by people who have done it.
Everything here is readable without an account. Sign in and the site keeps track of which modules you have finished, so you can put a resource down and pick it up later.
Practitioner writing, not marketing
Three things worth knowing before you start.
Written from the inside
Each resource comes from members who have run the work in a real organisation, including the parts that did not go well. Where the honest answer is "it depends", it says so.
Nothing is sponsored
No product is recommended and no supplier has paid for a mention. Partners support BSA through sponsorship of events and the association, never through this library.
Progress is a record of study
Mark a module once you have read it. That is all it does - it remembers your place. Nothing is scored, ranked or shown to anyone else.
1 resources, in order
Modules run in sequence and build on each other, but they stand alone well enough to read one on its own.
You have solved something other members are still stuck on.
Every resource here started as one person writing down how they handled a problem. If you have run a convergence programme, rebuilt a supplier assurance process or survived your first board paper, that is a resource. Send us an outline and we will help you shape it.
What a resource looks like
- Four to six modules, 25 to 40 minutes of reading each.
- Written in sequence, so someone can follow it from nothing.
- Specific about what failed, not only what worked.
- No product names, no supplier recommendations.
READING IS THE QUIET HALF.people are the rest!
Every resource in this library was written by someone in the member directory. When the writing runs out, you can go and ask them directly.
