Benefits of Benchmarking
q Benchmarking helps identify the gaps between the
organization that is undertaking the benchmarking
assessment and best practice.
q Undertaking benchmarking can lead to improvements
being incorporated into processes and systems
delivering gains in efficiency and effectiveness
q Benchmarking can help align improvement activity with
strategic goals and objectives
Problems with Benchmarking
Problems with benchmarking occur
where
qData is not obtained for the process being measured
– and analysis becomes subjective
qNo peer group/best practice identified (including
data available)
qThe gap between current state and best practice is
captured but nothing is done about it
qAssumed best practice isn't best practice
qBenchmarking happens as a one off event and not
reviewed periodically
