What are Your Best Practices?

The Internet, business books and industry publications are flooded with “Best Practices” and “Top 10″ lists.

Generally, as much as they are industry specific, they can also be somewhat vague, built from a pool of data from multiple sources and perspectives. Although these lists may challenge our beliefs, answer questions and provide new direction and optimism, it may be time to construct your own best practices and top 10 lists for your company as they pertain to your purpose, customers and goals.

As the saying goes, you cannot manage what you do not measure. Hence, everything worth doing is worth measuring and from measuring, conclusions can be drawn. From these conclusions you will acquire the intelligence to methodically build, and over time, hone your own personal best practices and top lists.

In the beginning, you may be spending more time interpreting, analyzing and measuring than you will planning and launching. However, as your lists metamorphosize into doctrines, the ROI of everything you do will improve measurably.
