Best practices are techniques that have consistently shown superior results compared to other methods. Benchmarking involves comparing one's processes and performance metrics to industry leaders. There is no single benchmarking process, but it typically involves 12 steps: selecting topics, defining processes, identifying partners, collecting data, determining gaps, setting future targets, and reviewing. Examples of best practices from different organizations focus on continuous improvement, teamwork, variety of options, clear objectives, social behavior, and good management. Some best practices that could benefit a college include using solar power, rainwater harvesting, developing social behavior among students, clear management, and offering a variety of courses.
