This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Benchmarking Primer PowerPoint presentation, outlines Step 5 of a benchmarking approach, focusing on determining future trends. The overview emphasizes the need to analyze past performance in relation to competitors, forecast potential changes in the industry, and project future performance with and without the proposed benchmarking changes. It stresses the importance of correctly implementing this step to gain a clear understanding of options and the potential benefits of adopting benchmarking practices. An incorrect execution could lead to incomplete or inaccurate insights.
The key considerations listed provide a structured framework for analysis. The first point urges organizations to identify past industry trends, particularly in areas like revenue and productivity, to establish a baseline for comparison. Understanding the current performance gap is crucial, as it allows organizations to assess whether their performance is improving or declining relative to benchmarked organizations.
The slide also prompts organizations to project future performance under 2 scenarios: one where no changes are made and another where proposed benchmarking changes are implemented. This dual approach helps to visualize the potential impact of benchmarking on future positioning within the industry.
Finally, the slide encourages a quantitative assessment of the proposed changes, examining both the benefits and costs associated with implementation. This comprehensive analysis is essential for making informed decisions about future strategies and ensuring that benchmarking efforts align with organizational goals. The insights derived from this step can significantly influence strategic planning and operational improvements.
This slide is part of the Benchmarking Primer PowerPoint presentation.
