Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the practice of comparing business processes and performance metrics to industry bests and best practices from other companies to understand how and where the organization needs to change to improve the performance of its products. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost.
Benchmarking is a simple, but detailed, five-step process:
- Choose a product, service, or internal department to benchmark
- Determine which best-in-class companies we should benchmark against – which organizations you’ll compare your business to
- Gather information on their internal performance, or metrics
- Compare the data from both organizations to identify gaps in your company’s product or performance
- Adopt the processes and policies in place within the best-in-class performers
