Best practices benchmarking: gain insight, take action

We assess each function’s contribution to business value relative to its cost of delivering services. Our approach considers:

• Qualitative measures such as alignment with business goals, level of technology integration achieved, or readiness to partner with customers and suppliers
• Quantitative measures such as cost, cycle time, FTE effort, use of shared services, and application complexity

The result: a comprehensive, empirical comparison of your performance relative to both a statistical median of a meaningful peer group and world-class performers. You get:

• Detailed comparisons of functional and process performance
• Analyses of root causes of complexity and value of services delivered
• Specific business best practices required to deliver process improvements and efficiencies
• Targeted recommendations, presented in boardroom-level, results-oriented business terms
