The whole concept of “stealing with pride” is the lubrication that keeps the wheels of Best Practice dissemination and learning from others turning.  The challenge for most organisations is that whilst they will be increasing their use of benchmarking in the future to improve their performance, they need a more rigorous and consistent benchmarking methodology to allow them to fully exploit its benefits.  This is the reason for our focus on benchmarking and the launch last year, in partnership with the Centre for Organisational Excellence Research of our TRADE Benchmarking Methodology.  This methodology has already proved an extremely effective approach to improving business performance in the Far East and Middle East and is now gaining momentum in Europe.  Email Benchmarking for more information on how your organisation can benefit from using this very powerful tool.

Whilst there are times when our events are focused specifically on benchmarking approaches (as with the upcoming workshop at City & Guilds in London and our TRADE training courses), the aim of all of our events and our online activities is to facilitate benchmarking amongst the membership in order to help them improve their business performance.  The areas covered are highly topical and decided by member demand.  Take a look at our forthcoming events and reserve your place.
