I agree and disagree with you Mounir :-) I think there is great merit in creating your own best practices, a custom innovation specific to the organization. However, this is only done through the investigation of other best practices. Can you honestly say that a company that develops their own best practice never had or investigated a base or benchmark from which to work from? Therefore I disagree with your first statement. We must always search for the best practice in whatever we do, even if it is a modified version that we customize for ourselves. In fact, I would say it's near impossible to create your own best practice without it being at least partially "borrowed" from something or someone before. Saving Changes...

I suppose best is relative, correct? Relative to an individual, team, organization, etc. so long as it remains dynamic with its relativity. Best is both fleeting and temporary. So, as Carla eluded too, we keep searching, learning, and striving to attain the elusiveness of what is best. Saving Changes...
