Abstract
Benchmarking is defined as the analysis of performance across organisations or parts of an organisation with a view to improvement. Kelly (2001) suggests that there are two types: one relying on a comparison of outcomes against an average statistical attainment; the other on a comparison of critical processes against those in another organisation acknowledged to be more effective. The latter is prevalent in the world of business; the former in not-for-profit sectors like education.
