BENCHMARKING STUDIES

A benchmarking study is a management tool whose working method consists of observing the business environment, and establishing performance levels that must be maintained or improved. This initiative provides the necessary structure and mobilization for the company to come away from its standard framework and analyze its practices. It involves the discernable transfer of its management methods or current actions, in order to improve company methods. We can help you carry out your Corporate University benchmarking studies by focusing on your specific requirements.

Our beliefs:

• You do not need to do a large-scale benchmark study to set up your university. Comparing oneself with others needs implies already having initiated the work necessary to identify the strategic elements that are problematic and that will require seeing how others went about solving them. You will save so much time and money by going only to benchmark business practices that illuminate the variables in your approach.
• Benchmarking is an amazing tool but it shouldn't be sanctified! One Corporate University can never be the carbon copy of another one because its conception is built on two fundamental pillars which are: the identity of your company and its business strategy. When you will have completed your benchmarking study, you will have to forget in order to move on to another level of construction and innovation entirely customised to your company.
• There is no right approach to benchmarking with no feedback to the companies that have helped you sort out your approach. They will be delighted to see what you have done with the guidance they provided and when they see the richness of your own constructions. It is indeed an enrichening experience both ways.
