BEST PRACTICES

INTRODUCTION TO BENCHMARKING

FOR BEST PRACTICES

“Benchmarking is the process of comparing one’s business processes and performance

metrics to industry bests and/or best practices from other industries. Dimensions

typically measured are quality, time, and cost. Improvements from learning mean doing

things better, faster, and cheaper.”

What is a Best Practice?

Best practices are “those practices that have been shown to produce superior results;

selected by a systematic process; and judged as exemplary, good, or successfully

demonstrated”, these practices are then adapted to fit a particular organisation.

Benchmarking is a systematic process used for identifying and implementing best or

better practices.

FORMS:

• “results”—comparative performance within and between organizations (efficiency/effectiveness).

• “process”—analysis of activities and tasks that turn resources inputs into outputs and outcomes.

• “best-practice standards”—take the form of goals and benchmarks to which orgs aspire, as part of planning and continuous improvement.
