Benchmarking for Strategic Planning

Organisations often fail to meet stakeholder performance expectations because they base their plans on inward-looking past experiences and fail to account for the progress and innovation achieved by their competitors. In the second of our series of whitepapers, we investigate how leading oil and gas organisations use benchmarking for strategic planning and driving systematic performance improvement programs.

By downloading this whitepaper you will learn how the leading oil and gas companies use benchmarking to:

  • Assess their current competitive performance
  • Develop long-term strategic plans
  • Cascade these into short-term strategic plans
  • Identify best-practices to implement gap-closure plans
  • Measure and review results systematically
  • Use benchmarking to improve the  cyclical strategic planning process

You can find the first whitepaper, titled Benchmarking for Performance Improvement, here.
