More than a living

No more complaining about government waste. Ok, well maybe a little bit more - but here is a bright shiny offering in return for your hard-earned tax dollars: a long list of best practices, including this 2000 GAO report “Human Capital Management - A Self Assessment Checklist for Agency Leaders“.

If you haven’t visited the site, take a bit of time to peruse what seems to be one of the most prolifict publishing environments today. Though the topic is the public sector, the many analyses have useful insights for application even in your for-profit, private sector gig.

Consider:

• ERP Implementation Best Practices (Navy)
• Challenges to Good Management Reporting Practices
• Spend Analysis to Refine Procurement Practices

Remember that “best practices” are not always the single, best way to get something done. They are an example of effective within an organization. That said, these resources should provide you with a few interesting examples that can help make your case.
