**A Question About Inclusion**

The recommendation in “Supplier and Partner Management: Creating Practical Everyday Systems” may be useful for experienced or well-resourced participants but difficult for beginners or low-resource groups.

A stronger design would provide minimum, standard and advanced versions of the next action.

**A Constructive Counterpoint**

One possible weakness in discussions about “Supplier and Partner Management: Creating Practical Everyday Systems” is the tendency to prioritize speed before confirming that the real problem has been correctly defined.

Moving quickly on the wrong diagnosis can create activity without progress.

A short diagnostic review may reduce later corrections and improve the quality of the final decision.
