Best Practices

Since 1994, Harvard Computing has made a point of making repeatable Best Practices a foundation of all consulting and product activities. Our belief is that if a process or procedure is based on the best way to do the work, then that should be the benchmark for all activities.

HCG consultants have built many Best Practice templates and training programs, which our clients use extensively as either reference points for their own requirements, or to use as a baseline to implement change in the organization.
The following areas have preformatted into Best Practice templates that can be used as a foundation for your Business Process Improvement project:

Emergency Procedures Incident TaskMap

The Emergency Procedures Process Map was created to show how an organization might go about handling various emergency situations that occur. See our recent DelphiTV broadcast for FREE. The process map is meant to serve a basic guide for handling emergency scenarios. The maps include; F ire Incident, Bomb Incident, Civil Disturbance, Water Related Incident, Power Outage, Medical Incident, Severe Windstorm – Hurricane Incident and Snow Storm. Click for more details.
