When an organization thinks about benchmarking, it should take a close look at all parts of its business, its products and services, and its procedures. Benchmarking won't work unless an organization knows itself. It has been defined by several different definitions based on perceptions, its utilization, implementation strategy and methodology. It is essentially learning from others.
