Benchmarking

To establish the appropriate levels of comparison, benchmarks must:

…be quantified so that evaluations can be done

Gathering input and evaluations from a wide range of internal users, customers, and support organizations and competitors to make an assessment without having a logical measurement system will create a robust yet worthless data set.

…be focused on the right dimension

Quality benchmarking focuses on the right subject, as well as doing the benchmaking right. If what you benchmark isn’t relevant, it isn’t useful.

…relate to the decisions that will be made with the data

Understanding how the data will be used is key to the design and execution of a benchmarking project. Understand where the uncertainty lies within the organization so that a relevant exploration of the dimension can be made.

…be shared with the participants

Knowing that everyone will get to see and use the data elicits higher quality information. Why should someone participate in a meaningful way if they’ll never see the results?
