What is best practice?

 

Best practice is a technique or method that, through experience and research: 

  1. Proves reliable to lead to a desired result 

  2. Produces superior performance in an institution 

  3. Improves effectiveness, efficiency and innovation 

  4. Is the best possible way of doing something 

    1. Information management is fundamental to all aspects of best practice. Information management refers to management of the systems, activities, and data that allow information in a project to be effectively acquired, stored, processed, accessed, communicated, and archived. There should be a valid audit trail of this communication process. Projects generate and absorb vast quantities of data that need to be managed effectively.
