Establishing consistent
operations, leveraging the experience of your experts and
capturing the knowledge of the correct approach to accomplishing important
tasks, these are a few of the important bi-products of Enterprise Best
Practices.
What is aBestPractice?
A few key questions can help to best
establish the definition of a Best Practice:
How do you differentiate your organization's
capabilities?
ANSWER -
Hopefully you've targeted, and optimized, the unique activities
(processes) that are at the core of your success.
What are the key things that your organization
accomplishes, that absolutely must be completed, to achieve successful products and/or
services? Do you know?
ANSWER - It is those procedures, tests, analyses,
evaluations, etc. that comprise your organization's Best Practices.
If, or when, you Benchmark your
enterprise against another enterprise what do you measure?
ANSWER
- After establishing a common basis for comparative
financial performance, certainly selection
and evaluation of selected procedures is near the top of the list! Typically, these include Time-to-Market, First-Time-Capability,
Quality Indicators like Expense Per Unit Sold (EPUS) and/or
performance to Six Sigma. It is the critical procedures, the core efforts behind your responses...those
things that differentiate you that represent potential Best Practices.
Hence, Best Practices represent your potential differentiation, they are
the core things that people & systems in your organization complete which
assure your continued and future success!
Best Practices are procedures, they are knowledge,
experience and organization wisdom...Best Practices, when identified and
captured, represent the things that you want to complete, day-in and
day-out with consistency and
accuracy to ensure business performance.
