About this title

From the Author:

The Truth About Best Practice
Ever since benchmarking became popular people have oversimplified it. They read about what someone has done in another company or they visit another company and try to use that firm's solutions to solve their problems. The fallacy of this is that what one reads or sees is not the "best practice" for the viewer. Our research with 1,000 companies found that effective practices are the outgrowth of 8 traits, beliefs and strategies which are common to high performing companies and not common to most of the rest. These practices can be used as criteria for designing and carrying out one's own programs. They insure that you will develop the practice that is best for your organization.
