Product Description
The Benchmarking Workbook will do exactly what the title suggests — make it easier for you to put theory into practice. It is a "do-it-yourself" guide to benchmarking. Benchmarking methods are simple, easy to grasp, and universal — everyone can do it! But many people suffer from unclear frames of reference, impossible deadlines, inadequate budgets, unexplained expectations; even when these obstacles are overcome, the greatest danger is becoming swamped by detail. This is where the Benchmarking Workbook will prove to be a major ally. If you are on a benchmarking team, you will find that this workbook is a tool to help get at the practical aspects; aspects with which books of theory just cannot cope. It includes
- examples from actual cases
- self-diagnostic "what to do" sections
- forms, checklists and questionnaires
- organize your research
- clarify your thinking
- prioritize your findings

Customer Reviews
Not a Bad Book, but . . .
This workbook is filled with sample forms for a variety of uses. Unfortunately, it's a little sketchy as to the applicability of each form. The book is intended to be a companion to Karlof's prior work, "Benchmarking: A Signpost to Excellence and Productivity". The biggest disappointment is the price. The book has a text book price -- it's a paperback! At that price you would at least expect forms that are closer to letter sized. Based on the pricing of the paperback edition, the hardback must be over $200. This book is hardly a value.
