Business is innovation; every project which a company executes is aimed at improvement of some sort. Projects are executed to achieve a particular aim, usually a specific improvement to a specific aspect of business. In the real world project subjects are usually related to multiple business aspects; this means that multiple disciplines will have to cooperate to make a project succeed. Within multidisciplinary project teams; knowledge, experience, jargon and "way-of-doing-things" differ and create a "gap" in the communication and cooperation. Closing this "gap" is an important part of project management, which is often overlooked.
If the "gap" in communication is closed; multidisciplinary project teams are more creative and more effective than project teams that consist of people from a single discipline.
Business is not about charity; business is about creating an economic profit. Companies create economic profits using natural and social resources. These resources are scarce, just take a look at current resource prices or listen to complaints about the availability of suitable educated personnel.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is about balancing the of business. These aspects should be used to strengthen each others’ benefits. BEST Consulting does not believe in "green washing", we simply believe that natural and social resources are an important part of business that should not be ignored.
In our opinion CSR should never address only one aspect of corporate sustainability, and it should strengthen the business case. CSR should not be a nuisance, but a benefit!
Both the scientific world and the market place are filled with methods and theories on Business. BEST Consulting is familiar with the most common Business methods and theories. Listing these methods and theories is unnecessary; BEST Consulting can familiarize with any method or theory a customer desires.
Business methods and theories form a good vantage point and as such can provide a real benefit. This benefit is lost as soon as theories are used to replace common sense. Business methods and theories are based on economic theory, which scarcely resembles the real world. There are no absolute rules and therefore there is no single comprehensive business method or theory.
BEST Consulting believes in combining strong points from different methods and theories into a situation specific method; we also believe there is no substitute for common sense.
