Custom Benchmarking Services

APQC offers benchmarking services that can compare your organization with others inside or outside your industry that are achieving world-class performance and explain how to make the changes necessary to achieve benchmark-setting performance.  We use APQC's respected methodologies to develop research around specific needs and deliver objective performance indicators that can help you improve.

As an objective, third-party benchmarking services provider, APQC follows its internationally-recognized Benchmarking Code of Conduct, which provides detailed guidelines for confidentiality, appropriate data use and exchange, and communication. Adherence to the code contributes to efficient, effective, and ethical benchmarking.

For organizations that need a closer view of best practices within a narrow area, our team will:

• conduct secondary research,
• contact and screen organizations where benchmarking data will be gathered,
• create a site visit report that is both qualitative and quantitative,
• create a benchmarking and performance report based on your organization and data gathered from top performers, and
• develop a blueprint for closing gaps and elevating your organization's performance within a specific practice area.

Some of the past custom benchmarking projects we've done for professional services firms include:
