McKinsey has it right. I just stumbled over a load of good articles - nice source and loads of valuable knowledge.

The topic which just caught my eye was about “Best Practice” - just now I’m implementing “Best Practice” in Web Development. Maybe I just have to think that over again

Best practice doesn’t always equal best strategy. Best-practice benchmarking, rightly viewed as one of the most important tools for improving operational efficiency, can be a double-edged sword. Managers must guard against transforming what is a purely process-related technique into the overriding goal of strategic decision making. When industry competitors begin to herd around a single strategy, declining margins are bound to follow.
