Benchmarking

The benchmarking process exists in a series of four phases: planning, analysis, integration, and action. While each phase is carried out with the same concept, the types of activities that are performed within the phases can vary due to the nature of the business or benchmark.

Things like budgeting, the size of the company, the accessibility of information and cultural variances due to globalization can all play a role when determining a benchmark.

This paper will explore the value of each phase to the benchmarking process and why they are important to the corporate world.The way businesses do business is a constant revolving door during this day and age. There is no right or wrong answer, and the best practices are becoming more and more outdated as time continues.

With advancements in technology, the use of the world-wide web, globalization, and many other factors, corporations are able to compete and enter into markets that would have otherwise been impossible to be in.

Whether you are a newer corporation to the market or a seasoned veteran, benchmarking can help businesses utilize their resources, increase funding and capitalization, and earn and maintain a competitive advantage.

Benchmarking is a type of business analytic that measures performance, policy, and practices of a business to those in the same industry in order to determine relative performance.

It gives those charged with governance key information with regards to any gaps of flaws that might be in existence in their current business model and helps them determine what is working for them, and what might need to be re-evaluated.

Those charged with governance however are not the only ones that use benchmarking as a way to determine the health and performance of a corporation.

There have been studies as well that point out the importance of the media’s perspective to performance rankings, and how investors and analysts value improvements to a corporation’s rankings (Jennings, Seo, Soliman, 2020).

For a corporation to be able to use benchmarking, it must have a measurable process or key performance indicator that it is able to study and compare to another business of similar nature.

By utilizing the four processes of benchmarking, businesses are able to design reports andmetrics to compare themselves to industry standards worldwide and better their own processes.

Planning

Benchmarking is a process not just used by businesses and corporations, but through any activity that can measure success in a comparative way. Because there are so many vast opportunities for its use, careful planning must be addressed before hand to ensure the information is reliable and relevant.

By doing so, management and those charged with governance will be able to make the most effective decisions (Kharlamova, Tkachenko, Poliakova, Lipskyi, Prokhorchuk, 2020)Before beginning the planning phases, key management must first understand their own business functions and processes.
