Summary
Description 1
The following axioms should be considered in benchmarking:
- What works well for a given organization in one situation may not work well in another organization under different circumstances.
- There are lessons to be learned from undesirable situations as well as from best practices – things that have been proven to work well and produce good results.
- Examining the practices of organizations with fundamentally different aims can produce surprisingly useful insight about another organization.

Description 2
Collaboration and benchmarking are effective ways to share knowledge, support continuous improvement, and identify best practices.
Benchmarking is the practice of comparing features and performance of an organization, department or function with those of other organizations and standards. Benchmarking processes of good performing organizations can lead to the adoption of new, ‘best practices’ and enhancement of knowledge.
