Industry Best Practices
Just because “we’ve always done it that way” doesn’t ensure that you are realizing best-in-class business benefits from your current processes. Sometimes the answer is not to incrementally improve what you have, but to learn from others and implement something new.
Best practices are just that. The combined knowledge and experience of industry leaders who have relentlessly weeded out the non-value-added steps, who have found the most effective, repeatable path to success, and who have achieved the highest returns as a result.
