Comparisons - Baldrige Definition
(Baldrige Glossary for Business, Government (Public Sector) and other Nonprofit
|
Comparisons
The term "comparisons"
refers to results from an applicant's competitors, the industry, or
best-in-class organizations that serve to illustrate relative
performance.
Benchmarks
are one form of comparative data.
Other comparative data
organizations might use include industry data collected by a third party (frequently industry averages),
data on competitors’
performance,
and comparisons with
similar organizations in the same geographic area. Note: The term “comparisons” is defined by Baldrige but is not included in their official Glossary. It is included here to help distinguish it from the term “Benchmarks”. |
