Comparisons

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 distinguish it from the term “Benchmarks”.

Thank you for using the only truly integrated Baldrige Glossary available anywhere. Paul
