Performance Benchmarking

Description

Benchmarking compares your performance with an internal or external standard so that gaps become visible. This mini-course begins with the fundamentals and the setup of a benchmarking framework, then moves to identifying suitable key performance indicators.

The lessons then cover data collection methods, competitive benchmarking, and the use of industry standards and best practices. Later ones show how to analyse performance gaps, turn findings into improvement plans, and put benchmarking into practice in an organisation. The final lesson covers continuous monitoring. The ten PDF lessons include exercises, tables and a checklist for structuring your own benchmarking project.

Who it is for: managers and analysts who need to compare their team’s or company’s results against meaningful standards.
