Video Transcript for Improve Your Best Practices
When it comes to best practices, has your organization become a cover band? I like best practices. They help provide a roadmap for success. But sometimes, do they become a little dated?
Kind of like music. Cover bands bring popular music to life so we can all celebrate it. But let’s face it, A cover band is not creating it’s own music. It’s all about someone else’s work.
Sometimes the same thing can happen with best practices. There was an idea in the past, it worked well, everyone has adapted it. They’re all singing the same song.
But you have to think about Rockstars. A lot of them are rebels. And if you think about it, tomorrow’s best practices are going to be created by today’s rebels.
So think about if it’s time to branch out on your own, create some of your own organizational music, try some new things, and see how it goes.
You may hit the jackpot. You may decide the best practice is a good place to stay. But don’t stop making music.
Think about your future. Think about how you can create your own best practices.
