Business Benchmarks: Stop Trouble Early

depends on the size of the company if its a small company, no, but if you want the company to grow, yes.

You tell us; did the business ever go bankrupt or did you ever go hungry? Did his help stay and were his customers happy? How much time did he spend in court?

My father and his father both used personal integrity as a business model for their respective businesses. Both were successful and prospered.

As Curly inferred in City Slickers there is only one thing that is important and that is integrity. Integrity isnt something one stops doing, you have to continue to exhibit or you have lost it.

Integrity is more than a word to some people, and other people that never have it are the ones to watch out because integrity comes at a price most don't want to pay for.

That came from me and not a movie.

Integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody is looking.

Efficiently and cost effective as possible is good, but limited to "What you know."

Benchmarking is a way to learn "what else is possible."

Who one Benchmarks to is an important detail.

One can then use their values to decide whether or not to employ these new ideas.

I've admitted before that I'm a fan of your dad.

Thanks for the great topic.
