Best Practice Definition
A best practice is a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means; these can often serve as a benchmark to evaluate one's current practices.
Best Practices Organizational system
Best practice methods and associated articles, case studies and resources will be organized for ease of search by Executive, Management and Operations categories. Management will include finance and administration topics. Operations will be segmented by non-profit, small businesses, government and quasi-government organizations. The North American Industry Code System (NAICS) widely used by the US Census Bureau and other to record economic data will be another method of indexing and searching best practices.
