What is Competitive Benchmarking?
Competitive benchmarking analysis is the process of comparing an organization’s performance with that of its direct competitors in the industry. Apart from giving an organized overview of the company compared with their competitors, competitive benchmarking analysis also reveals performance gaps, improvement opportunities, and highlights competitors’ strategies that need to be countered. In this competitive world, a competitive benchmarking analysis is a common practice to establish baselines, define best practices, and identify improvement opportunities.
