Globally, the business environment is continuously churning. This environment is characterized by, amongst other factors, competitors benchmarking and commoditizing your best practices. Best practices build branding! Organizations must therefore, innovate their best practices to next practices.

Using the BestPrax Barometer an organization can identify its positive gaps (strengths). These positive gaps are invariably benchmarked by competitors. We recommend that organizations proactively innovate their positive gaps / best practices.

In order to innovate, it is useful to generate 'ideas'. Ideas that merit harvesting for innovative solutions. BestPrax Club offers Creativity Labs to facilitate ideation. Creativity Labs are conducted by Certified Ideators.
