A manager in the UK security industry knows the importance of “benchmarking” their company, say industry analysts Plimsoll.
A manager should look at their company’s strengths and weaknesses, assessing their own performance against that of their competitors. They should also have some idea of where the market is going. This can be a time-consuming and painstaking exercise that many simply cannot fit into their busy schedules, according to the analysts.
A new report by analysts Plimsoll Publishing Ltd takes the time and effort out of the benchmarking process, it is claimed, analysing the UK security industry and the top 1000 companies within it. The analysis moves away from the traditional method of benchmarking company performance against the industry average. Instead it suggests that you look at the leaders in the industry from whom you can learn the most, the writers add.
David Pattison, Senior Analyst at Plimsoll, adds: "There is no point measuring your company’s performance against weak companies. It’s like backing a losing horse. You are far better looking at the leading players and aiming for similar levels of success."
