Benchmarking to Quantify World Class & Using the Results
The term “world class” is thrown around a lot when describing learning -- by business partners, by senior executives and within the learning professional world -- but what does it mean exactly? Benchmarking can help you quantify best practices in the industry and learn where your organization lies. HSBC’s Learning, Development and Communications team used benchmarking to determine the best practices in the industry and where HSBC stands, and used the results to identify ways to become a world class learning organization.
