Is Your Supply Chain Training Embracing Good Training Practice (GTP)?

Written by Stefan Hoogervorst | October 8, 2025 2:44:21 PM Z

In pharmaceutical supply chains, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) are essential to ensure products reach end users safely, reliably and with high quality.

Why should your approach to supply chain training be any different?

It’s time to bring this rigor and consistency to your training through Good Training Practice (GTP).

Why Good Training Practice (GTP) Matters

Just like GMP and GDP ensure consistency and quality in pharmaceutical supply chains, Good Training Practice ensures that training knowledge doesn’t remain confined to a classroom—it translates effectively into measurable business outcomes.

Too often, participants leave training programs with the vague notion that they should apply their new knowledge. They’re left alone to figure out how, when, and where to implement these learnings. If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re witnessing missed opportunities for genuine business improvement and participant growth.

Good Training Practice Means Making Transfer Explicit

GTP is about explicitly embedding the transfer of learnings into every aspect of your training design and execution                 

At The Value Chain Academy, we systematically ensure that:

  • During the training program, participants reflect on and explicitly plan how to apply learnings to their business environment.
  • There is structured follow-up to ensure participants implement these learnings effectively.
  • Managers and colleagues actively support and engage with the learning process.

These elements are more than just good ideas—they form a proven methodology that ensures your training investments deliver real impact.

Creating a Continuous Learning Environment

Training shouldn’t be seen as a one-time event. Effective supply chain training is the start of an ongoing learning journey. With Good Training Practice, every application of learning by participants creates further insights, fostering a powerful, continuous learning cycle within your organization.

By adopting GTP, your organization benefits through clear and tangible impacts, participants stay motivated and engaged, and your teams build a culture of continuous improvement and learning.
