Benchmarking

Assess

Understand the underlying goals and root-causes. Interviews with key project stakeholders are conducted to establish a base understanding and clarify the purpose of the index or scale. Secondary research allows us to evaluate existing definitions of the phenomena to be measured, identify dimensions and elements relevant to the concept, and develop a final accepted definition of the construct.

Translate

Determine what variables are needed to measure the phenomenon. This involves gathering existing sources of data and evaluating them for availability, quality, then selecting the best indicators for each dimension. Finally, we transform the raw data into composite indices and scales, addressing issues of missing data, normalization of data, robustness and sensitivity, weighting, and validation.

Mobilize

Analyze and present findings. Findings are presented in a visual format, making it easy to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships. By integrating large amounts of information into easily understood formats, we provide our clients with transparent and objective results that are used to uncover meaningful insights that drive strategy development.
