Benchmarking, 20 October, LAHQ, London
This workshop looks at how to successfully use benchmarking - the
process of measuring products, services and practices against leaders in
our field.
How will this event help you?
It will help you use the technique of benchmarking:
* to enhance performance of your organisation

organisations, departments and colleagues

* competitors
* the 'best' in your field
AND
* determine key performance criteria and establish quality
standards
