“A manager’s true measure of effectiveness is team collaboration. When team members feel seen, safe, engaged and perceive abundance, they view colleagues as allies, not adversaries,” shared Whitney Johnson, Disruption Advisors CEO and cofounder. “While engagement fosters unity, the possibility of personal growth and opportunity cements it. The S Curve assesses both.”
Johnson and cofounder/president Amy Humble have designed the proprietary framework, which not only leverages real-time cumulative data to establish baselines, develop custom growth plans and evaluate progress but also redefines industry norms with its exceptional market differentiators:
Simplicity. The S Curve Insight Tool provides a growth framework that works for C-suite to entry-level employees.
Framework. Grow yourself, grow your people and grow your organization with the S Curve Insight Tool.
Growth Mapping. The S Curve Insight Tool is the only tool on the market that accurately and visually shows where someone is at on their growth journey, if they’re prepared for continued growth and if their environment will allow for growth.
Dialogue. The S Curve Insight Tool facilitates safe and open two-way conversations about culture and growth.
The S Curve Insight Tool offers a competitive edge for leaders wanting to build a strong growth-oriented culture, retain top talent and overall advance their organization.

Our people feel seen, understood and, most importantly, empowered to reach new pinnacles of excellence.”
This metric stands as a powerful and unique ally for organizations prioritizing growth to build a thriving culture.
“One of the greatest predictors of longevity in an organization is growth upside,” said Humble. “The S Curve tells you if a person perceives there is an upside and almost by definition signals that they are currently growing.”
Engagement is good. Growth is better. Solve for both with the S Curve.

When organizations support such ideas, it is a cause for celebration and recognition. Best Practice Institute is proud to be the driving force behind the Newsweek 1000 Excellence Index that will recognize those companies demonstrating best practices across all pillars of business.
Scheduled to debut online on November 15, 2023, and subsequently in Newsweek’s print edition this winter, the Newsweek 1000 Excellence Index is more than just a compilation of company names. Instead, it’s a testament to those corporations that have seamlessly woven social responsibility, sustainability, ethical considerations, and fair financial practices into the fabric of their operations.
The Best Practice Institute has analyzed hundreds of thousands of data points and created a proprietary scoring system to measure everything from financial practices to customer reviews, ESG commitments, and more to build the first 1000 Excellence Index. Companies have been assessed on several pivotal criteria, including:
Employee Rating: How those employees at the corporation’s heart perceive their employer.
Customer Rating: How the corporation’s customers view its products, services, and ethics.
ESG Risk Rating & Ethical Impact: A deep dive into a company’s environmental, social, and governance risks, combined with its ethical footprint.
ISO Standards Adherence: Compliance with international quality and safety standards.
R&D Spending: Investment in innovation and the future.
Global Compact Status: Alignment with the UN’s principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
BBB Rating & Accreditation (for small companies): Recognizing smaller entities that meet the Better Business Bureau’s standards.
Number of Customer Complaints: A transparent look at customer grievances, shedding light on a corporation’s commitment to rectification and improvement.
The Best Practice Institute and Newsweek partnership isn’t just about identifying and praising exemplary corporations. It’s a call to all enterprises, urging them to elevate their standards, prioritize ethical practices, and place stakeholders at the center of their business universe.
“Doing good business means more than just turning a profit. In our fast-paced economy, it can be easy to lose sight of the value of companies that strive to be good for customers, employees, and society at large,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief at Newsweek. “The Newsweek 1000 Excellence Index takes a 360-degree look at companies, assessing what their employees say about the company, how customers view their products, and how well the business is run in terms of safety, sustainability, diversity, and innovation. Our goal: to provide our readers with an informed view of the firms that are living up to the highest standards.”
To those corporations that believe they exemplify these values and wish to be part of the Newsweek 1000 Excellence Index or Best Practice Certified Index ensure your company has a spot by visiting http://excellence.bestpracticeinstitute.org.
“Celebrating ethical corporations is essential in an age where corporate scandals and unethical practices dominate headlines. These corporations serve as beacons of hope, reminding us that running a successful business does not have to come at the expense of ethical integrity,” said Louis Carter, CEO of Best Practice Institute. “They serve as role models for other companies, inspiring them to adopt similar practices and promoting a sense of accountability in the corporate world. By celebrating these ethical corporations, we can encourage others to follow in their footsteps and work towards a more just and sustainable business landscape.”
The core mission of Best Practice Institute for over twenty years is to assess and identify companies that stand out through social responsibility, ethics, and exemplary business practices. The path to commercial success can be clear of compromises. And with initiatives like this, corporations that choose the higher road will no longer remain unsung heroes. They will be celebrated and emulated, and most importantly, they will redefine what ‘business as usual’ truly means.

A program launched at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center three years ago to advance health equity and access by strengthening connections between cancer researchers and Indigenous communities has grown into a broad-based team of Indigenous experts with an expanded scope and purpose. The cancer center’s new Department of Indigenous Cancer Health reflects the significant growth of an initiative led since its inception by health disparities expert Rodney Haring, PhD, MSW, an enrolled member of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Beaver Clan.
“The Department of Indigenous Cancer Health at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is the first of its kind at any National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the country, which is monumental in many different ways,” says Dr. Haring, newly named Chair of the department, who has served on the Roswell Park faculty since 2012.
“It’s so important that we have integrated resources to offer the communities and organizations we serve. It’s not enough to focus just on how to make cancer research more beneficial for Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. We have to be there with supports and services at every step from prevention to education, patient services and translating research into practice, and our new framework as a department makes full use of the tools and partnerships we’ve forged along the way.”
“Our Indigenous Cancer Health programs have been a keystone that’s brought incredible depth and reach to Roswell Park’s mission to serve our communities,” says Roswell Park President, CEO and M&T Bank Presidential Chair in Leadership Candace S. Johnson, PhD. “Aligning these resources as a department recognizes the possibility for global benefit from our work to bridge gaps in services, in access and in understanding.”
Since the program was established in 2020 as the Center for Indigenous Cancer Research, the Indigenous Cancer Health initiative at Roswell Park has:
Grown into an interdisciplinary team of experts, including Dr. Haring as program Chair and faculty sponsor, David Mattson, Jr., MD, Native Hawaiian, Assistant Professor and Director of GI and GYN Radiation Services, as Clinical Advisor; Josie Raphaelito, MPH, Diné/Navajo, as Assistant Director; Hugh Burnam, PhD, Mohawk Nation, Wolf Clan, as Research Affiliate.
Department staff include community-based patient navigators as well as physician-scientists and experts in public health, community relations and clinical research — all of whom are from Indigenous communities.
Renewed a first-of-its kind cancer-focused Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Health Service (IHS) within the of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, first awarded in 2016, and helped shape and inform IHS’ work; Dr. Haring and Raphaelito serve on IHS’ National Tribal Cancer Workgroup.
Reached thousands of residents of tribal, and adjacent, urban and rural communities with health screening, education or linkage to clinical care and supportive resources.
Hosted students from Indigenous communities for experiential learning introducing them to the field of medical research, including a tribally led partnership that has brought dozens of high school and college students from the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe to Roswell Park.
Successfully competed for research grants from public and private funding organizations including the National Cancer Institute, other National Institutes of Health agencies and the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, and published numerous studies in peer-reviewed medical and public-health journals on topics ranging from health communications to COVID-19 control, genomic-based data use agreements with Indigenous populations and novel proposals to address cancer health disparities and improve outcomes.
Partnered with health experts from Native Nations and international collaborators including the Māori of New Zealand.
“The Department of Indigenous Cancer Health at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer has created a unique opportunity to include indigenous perspectives and medicines, in their care, treatment, and research – capitalizing on the true power of inclusive diversity in their work. It’s not just the lip service of having representation. They are realizing significant and potentially groundbreaking benefits. Their efforts not only increase the quality of care, but the opportunities created by this team to educate are inspiring and developing the next generation of Native American medical professionals and researchers,” says Michael Martin, Executive Director of Native American Community Services and member of the Onondaga Nation, Beaver Clan. Their respectful approach to dealing with Native governments and communities has opened the door for greater collaborations that will help produce healthier outcomes for our people and our future seven generations. I truly feel they are an international leader in understanding and supporting the power of indigenous people, approaches, and perspectives. Dr. Haring is a great Ambassador for Roswell and is also an international indigenous leader in his field. We are so lucky to have this center here serving our people.”
“I am incredibly thrilled to witness the remarkable growth of the Department of Indigenous Cancer Health at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, as a member of both the Roswell Park Community Advisory Board and the Department of Indigenous Cancer Health Community Advisory Board, it is great to see this cutting-edge work being done at one of the Nation’s preeminent cancer centers — upholding the values of Indigenous knowledge, sovereignty and environmental respect through community-driven and diverse partnerships, research and education, all in the pursuit of diminishing the impact of cancer inequities on communities underserved & worldwide,” says Rory Wheeler, a citizen of the Seneca Nation, Turtle Clan, and descendant of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, who has been an active community organizer, volunteer, advisor and leader.
The framework of the newly aligned and expanded department brings new opportunities for collaboration both within and outside of Roswell Park, Dr. Haring notes.
“When we bring health, education and research to our communities, our Tribal, regional and academic partners see that it’s in the context of a government-to-government-to cancer center relationship,” he says. “We approach our work with great respect and a sense of responsibility to our communities, our environment, and to the generations that will follow us.”
