Better.Way.Blog.

The team at CDE Advisors is on a curiosity-driven hunt for better ways—for innovative approaches to long-standing challenges. Here, we share insights, musings, and other thoughts about hot topics in our field—and hopefully, we’ll find some better ways along the way.

  • I think over-reliance on benchmarking can be a trap. Yes, it can be helpful; and yes, it's nice to be able to understand what other people are doing. But sometimes, in the search for so-called best practices, we actually miss opportunities to find the better way.

  • I like to ask “why.” “Why are we doing this?” Everything flows from the “why.” When you really ask “why,” you get to your purpose.

  • We focus on performance, not fear. Culture drives performance. Data helps us measure performance. Ethics guides performance.
