Today, the best-practice processes developed by executive search firms are the result of doing things “the way we think”. We naturally prefer to get to a result in the fastest way possible.
Contrary to this, most off-the-shelf databases force us to navigate off our natural path via complex features – and it makes things difficult. We need technology to work in the way we think – and be completely in step with our best-practices processes. This is the most common reason firms explore the proprietary software build – to create a system that’s better aligned with their best-practice processes. They build because no existing product is designed to meet their unique needs. Anything close is inflexible and unable to close the gap. These systems are based on processes that are either old or are processes they ASSUME will fit any organization. That is what's at issue here.
How can a proprietary system help your firm?
