A benchmark is an indicator or standard that serves as a point of reference for the evaluation of performance and quality, and can be used to remedy deficiencies, improve performance, and boost efficiency and innovation.
Relevant benchmarks can apply to any area of business operations – marketing, sales, manufacturing, operations, management, and more – and to organizational aspects such as corporate strategies, business models, organizational concepts, procedures, processes, infrastructures, technological systems, and human capital.
