Glossary

These involve superior performances, methods or approaches that lead to exceptional achievement. Best practice is a relative term and sometimes indicates innovative or interesting business practices, which have been identified through benchmarking. As with benchmarking it is preferable to talk about ‘good practice’ or ‘inspiring practice’ since one cannot be sure that there is not a better one.

Common Assessment Framework. See CAF Model.

Innovation is the process of translating good ideas into new services, processes, tools, systems and human interaction. An organisation may be described as innovative when an existing task is performed in a way that is new to the workplace, or when the organisation offers customers a new service in a different way such as self-service via the Internet.

From Criterion 6 onwards, the focus of the assessment shifts from Enablers to Results. In the first three Results Criteria we measure perceptions: what our people, citizens/customers and society think of us. We also have internal performance indicators which show how well we are doing against the targets we may have set for ourselves – the outcomes. The assessment of results requires a different set of responses, so the responses from this point onwards are based on the Results Assessment Panel (see CAF Scoring and Assessment Panels).

Information is a collection of data organised to form a message; it is a data that has made sense. One of the common ways to define information is to describe it as the facts provided or learned about something or someone.
