If you want to differentiate the performance levels of two companies working on the same industry what would you do??
By look for the financial statements for both compaines but even look in detalis for the trend of sales for the last3 years . plus overview the laiblities and the ablitity of the company for paying it.
I would evaluate where you are now against established benchmarks such as previous state of the organization, performance indicators, benchmarks or set future benchmarks.
Previous State of the Organization-Assuming there are no set pre-determined benchmarks, where was the organization1 year or3 years ago? How many Acct. Payables were processed, or How many employees were hired3 years ago and how long did it take to bring a new employee on-board.
Performance Indicators-Departments usually have some indicators in their operations. For example: to process98% of all Acct. Payable in25 days; or hire new talent within90 days. Find those Perf. Indic. for the past1 to3 years and use them as a benchmark and compare them to what the Dept. is doing today.
Future Benchmarks-Determine today what the dept. will improve on and by how much. Future Benchmarks are not always tied to money and can certainly be improving operations.
And your thoughts are? :)
I would measure it against the actual output or results of an organization as measured against its intended outputs (or goals and objectives) as yard scale.
1. Organizational strategies.
2. Organizational effectiveness.
3. Organization earning profit.
4. Product quality as ISO standard.
5. Trained Human Resources.
