If you are looking for specific best practices information for all areas of your company – not just accounting – you may want to consider accessing the best practices database of Best Practices, LLC. The site is located at www.bestpracticedatabase.com, and is run by a group of consultants “with roots in the Harvard Business School” (not sure what that means!) The site contains hundreds of best practices research papers covering the following operational areas:
- Alliances and partnerships
- Benchmarking and quality
- Facilities services
- Financial management
- Health and safety
- Manufacturing
- Measurement
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Mission strategies
- Operations and maintenance
- Order management
- Organization strategy and structure
- Outsourcing
- Research and development
- Supply chain management
Of course, there is a price for this level of comprehensive coverage, so expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $1,000 per research report. By the way, I am not affiliated with this site in any way, and merely mention it as a convenience, in case you are looking for in-depth coverage of a specific best practices topic.
