“…Action learning is frequently applied in interorganizational collaborations across both institutional and disciplinary boundaries, as well as in research and practice. Scholars are increasingly engaging in action learning processes – collaborating with those who seek practical problem solving (Coghlan and Coughlan, , 2011) – thus showing that collaborative research in and by interorganizational networks is both possible and relevant (Coghlan and Coughlan, ).…”

This paper presents, discusses, and illustrates the practitioner–practitioner–researcher inquiry group (PPRIG) as a novel collaborative research approach involving practitioners as active partners instead of passive informants. Based on involvement of inside and outside practitioners vis‐à‐vis a particular organization, PPRIG taps into outside practitioners' specific potential for alternative ways of observing, reflecting, and sense‐making, to better explore and understand the how and why of management phenomena and to develop practical solutions. By systematically adding an outside practitioner perspective to the widespread insider (practitioner) and outsider (researcher) perspective in collaborative research, PPRIG responds to certain key criticisms of collaborative methods by giving precise guidelines for achieving such collaboration. PPRIG thus complements and extends existing research methods in the field of collaborative research. Moreover, by addressing the communication and collaboration challenges with a structured three‐step approach, it addresses key criticisms and answers fundamental questions about how to conduct collaboration between researchers and practitioners.

“…When working with an extended enterprise that involves the whole industry, additional steps need to be added to the AR cycle such as a meta-step to reflect on the overall AR process and the establishment of inter-organizational action learning groups (Coghlan & Coughlan, 2008). Goal alignment across the SC becomes a critical first step and the sharing of results among the SC players, at the end of the cycle, becomes an enabler to start the next cycle (Cagliano et al, 2005).…”

Digital transformation initiatives in supply chain require a sector-level approach, involving multiple stakeholders. This implies the development of new models for successful implementation that move beyond the dyadic relationship level and that fosters collaboration mechanisms in multi-stakeholder and multi-level systems. This study applies an insider action research approach to the implementation of the EU system for product traceability in the pharmaceutical supply chain, the EU falsified medicines directive, focusing on stakeholder orientation's alignment. The study identifies how to overcome obstacles to the effective governance of multi-stakeholder digital transformation in supply chains. It proposes new pre-cycle and monitoring mechanisms to use in AR, highlighting the importance of formal structures to foster informal governance and relationships among different stakeholders and introducing the notion of deliberative capacity. Practical implications for managers of companies and organizations at different levels of the supply chain are discussed, illustrating the practical outcomes of the pan-European project.
