Since it's a very short one-page review, let me quote its main ideas to you na ka. Before then, please note that the author also stated that 'Not all the best practices are bad ka!"
"What many organizations would claim to be best practices are actually nothing more than the habitual ways of doing things that typically deliver suboptimal performance."
"When we adopt all of the practices of “successful companies” in the belief that they all contribute equally to that success, or we jump on the bandwagon and adopt a best practice just because it has become an industry norm and everybody’s doing it, there is no hard data behind that practice."
"Reverse benchmarking, on the other hand, involves identifying those same best practices but then asking each organization why they follow them. If no one can give you a satisfactory answer, that suggests that the practice is persisting solely on reputation and a lack of investigation."
I like the last one best because we tend to follow the 'best one' and may have too much faith or may feel by using benchmarking, we can answer easily that we follow the industry norms/benchmarks when it may not fit in with our own contexts or not even our focus then......ranking could be best blinded by this sort of benchmarks too mai ka?
The author "proposes that many widely accepted best practices are really outdated and harmful bad habits that persist solely based on past reputation." แรงมาก ....so cutting and it's a statement to rethink dee ka!
Hope we all have a clean-air weekend to enjoy na ka.
