The aims are to set objectives for benchmarking and performance measurement, secure the support of senior management and other stakeholders, and develop a benchmarking strategy.

It may apply to a single client or a group of organisations that has already decided to form a benchmarking club.

Activities will include:


a presentation to senior managers to explain how benchmarking fits in to the strategic planning/continuous improvement process

discussion with management and staff to agree priory areas for improvement

agree with senior management how to communicate the planned benchmarking work to the staff, clients and suppliers it affects

workshops with staff, clients and suppliers to determine key measures in the agreed priority areas and demonstrate the capabilities of the software

agree key roles and responsibilities for the planned benchmarking initiative

agree the stages that are required, how they will be delivered and a program against which progress can be monitored.

schedule all the required activities, actions and key dates, so all parties involved have a firm understanding of what is required of who and by when.
