Good practice

Getting the most from an expert call

Simple habits that make every hour with an expert more valuable.

Start with the decision

Share the decision you are making, not just the topic. We shortlist experts against it.

Prepare 5–7 questions

A focused discussion guide gets better answers than an open conversation.

Mix perspectives

Combine current operators, former employees, suppliers and customers to avoid one-sided views.

Respect compliance

Experts are screened for conflicts and reminded not to share confidential or material non-public information.

Capture notes

Ask for call notes or transcripts so insights can be shared across your team.

Triangulate

Treat one expert view as a hypothesis and test it against data and other calls.
