It’s Time to Take Off the Benchmarking Blindfold
Unfortunately, all too often, we see companies ignoring what data is telling them, or even worse, not using the data at all. One tool business leaders often overlook as a way to strengthen their performance is benchmarking – understanding how your business is performing versus the best in class and/or your business’s competitive peer set. Benchmarking is an essential part of assessing your business, and with opportunities and challenges that are on the horizon for today’s manufacturers, it is critically important to identify your strengths and weaknesses. During this session you will learn what data you should be collecting and how to use it to make better decisions.
