Achieving best practice in your business

Business meeting

The Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform's (BERR) approach to business support provides ideas and insights into how to improve performance across a business.

By showing what works in other businesses, the BERR Achieving best practice in your business theme helps businesses to see which approaches can help and then support companies in their implementation.

This overall programme aims to encourage businesses to seek to achieve best practice, by which BERR means the adoption and integration of approaches and ideas across an organisation that other businesses have shown help improve performance and productivity.

Businesses testify that learning from other business is one of the most powerful means any organisation can adopt to achieve immediate, measurable and sustainable productivity improvements.

The Achieving best practice in your business theme provides support and guidance centrally and regionally through Business Link and an extensive network of industry-wide and trade-specific partners and channels from the public and private sectors. Support will also be provided in the form of a range of innovative and effective publications and business tools available free online and offline, alongside a programme of events.
