Figure 4
The flow diagram contains three horizontally arranged pathways, each showing a sequence of numbered circular states connected by right-pointing arrows, followed by three shaded implementation score bars labeled “S S”, “I S”, and “C S”. At the top, the “Supplier-Driven Transition Pathway” moves from state 1 to state 2 to state 4 to state 5, with each transition indicated by a solid right-pointing arrow. Directly beneath this pathway, three horizontal bars represent implementation scores: the “S S” bar is light at the left and gradually darkens toward the right; the “I S” bar is slightly darker overall and continues darkening to the right; and the “C S” bar is moderately shaded at the left and darkens further toward the right. The second pathway, labeled “Balanced Transition Pathway”, shows a right-pointing sequence from state 1 to state 3 to state 4 to state 5. Its three implementation bars beneath it show the “S S” bar beginning light and gradually darkening, the “I S” bar beginning light and darkening at a similar rate, and the “C S” bar beginning light and darkening more gradually. The third pathway, labeled “Adaptive Exploration Pathway”, shows the sequence from state 1 to state 3 to state 2 to state 4 to state 5, all connected by right-pointing arrows. Its three implementation score bars beneath it show the “S S” bar starting moderately shaded and darkening to the right, the “I S” bar starting light then darkening more sharply toward the right, and the “C S” bar starting lightly shaded and steadily moving to darker shading. At the bottom of the diagram, the legend states that “S S equals supplier side”, “I S equals internal side”, and “C S equals consumer side”. Another legend shows a horizontal gradient labeled “implementation score”, with “low” on the left and “high” on the right.Implementation navigation path
