Abstract:

In one embodiment, a process for identifying and monitoring one or more best practices of an enterprise includes defining a set of criteria for determining whether each of a plurality of practices of the enterprise qualify as a best practice of the enterprise.

The process also includes performing a maturity assessment process to determine, based on a comparison between the practice profile for the particular practice and the set of criteria, whether the particular practice qualifies as a best practice of the enterprise and, if the particular practice so qualifies, assigning a best practice maturity level to the particular practice, the best practice maturity level defining to what degree the particular practice qualifies as a best practice of the enterprise.
