6. Benchmarking
Why?
“Benchmarking helps create the learning organisation: a group of dedicated individuals who actively
pursue excellence, growth and knowledge. If the experts are right..., only those organisations that can
quickly learn from and master their environments will survive into the twenty-first century.
Objective information can help trigger the transformation to the continuous improvement
philosophy, but it can only do so if it is continually reapplied and reinforced. Benchmarking sets the
framework for excellence, attaining it depends on the actions that are taken once the results are in. “
(Leibfried & McNair, 1992: 320-321)
