Deploy PathMaker as a Fast, Flexible Benchmarking Software Solution Benchmarking has claimed a big share of the management theory stage over the past five years. Then copy them. Benchmarking works wonderfully. Cooks benchmark Paul Prudhomme and Julia Childs. Little girls benchmarked Princess Diana.
Governments do it all the time, looking at how things are done elsewhere.
Schools, too, are avid benchmarkers. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has done a deal of good by getting groups of hospitals to pool their knowledge of how to treat a given illness most effectively. Experiments are done, data is collected, and the improved protocols are published for the benefit of the wider medical community. It can be a little more difficult in private industry, where competitive issues arise, but there are still many examples of successful benchmarking. The tools used in benchmarking are essentially the same as those used in most management tasks.
