What really goes on in the name of benchmarking?
By: David Mayle, Matthew Hinton, Graham Francis, and Jacky Holloway
Introduction
Best-practice benchmarking is today taken to describe a process whereby organizations pursue enhanced performance by learning from the successful practices of others.
Comparisons may be made with other parts of the same organization, with competitors, or with organizations operating in different spheres whose business processes are nevertheless deemed to be in some way relevant. By implication at least, the lessons learned are implemented and the cycle continues anew.
The purpose of this chapter is to shed some light on the rather broad range of activities that are often subsumed under the umbrella term of benchmarking. The authors’ original interest in the topic stems from a conviction that benchmarking offers rather more than the mere establishment of performance “league tables.”
Although we fully accept the value of these as a means of ascertaining comparative performance levels, and hence directing attention towards areas or processes which are seen, in relative terms, to be under-per-forming, our conviction remains that true benchmarking entails rather more.
Specifically, the network of contacts generated by the activity represents a treasure-trove of good (if not necessarily best) practice, much of which could be adopted by the organization in some shape or form.
It has been argued that benchmarking can only be about catching up; if good practice were to be copied slavishly then this would undoubtedly be the case, but a more general receptivity to good ideas, and the willingness to try them out in some new context, is arguably a major ingredient for innovation.
What is benchmarking?
Notwithstanding these convictions about underlying cultural themes the practice of benchmarking, in the West at least, arguably emerged from the Xerox Corporation in the late 1980s.
Since then it has become one of the more popular of management fashions, with every airport lounge bookstall offering at least one treatise extolling its virtues and proffering advice on how to “do” it.
Like so many management fashions, however, actual implementation seems to come in all shapes and sizes, with a huge variety of activities being carried out under a benchmarking umbrella.
The problem would appear to be that, in spite of the best efforts of academics, practicing managers do not always read the more formal management texts, and even those that do will often vary whatever methodology is on offer to suit local conditions.
They may even claim to have been “doing” benchmarking for many years, albeit under other names, such as “inter-firm comparison.”
Method and general characteristics
In order to investigate the current state of benchmarking practice, the authors initially sent out a series of postal questionnaires to potential benchmarkers in the UK. It was important
