Peer benchmarking - This is a benchmark report where companies choose to look at other businesses very similar to themselves. This allows companies to make sure they are staying competitive with similar businesses.
Continued……… SWOT - This is a type of benchmarking report where
companies gather data by looking at strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to help understand their climate.
Collaborative benchmarking/Group benchmarking - This is benchmarking as a part of a group. Many industries have associations they can join e.g., The Association of Information Technology Professionals, and The National Education Association.
