What is Benchmarking?

• "Benchmarking is a tool to help you improve your
  processes. Any process can be benchmarked.
• "Benchmarking is the process of identifying,
  understanding, and adapting outstanding practices
  from organizations anywhere in the world to help
  your organization improve its performance."
• "Benchmarking is a highly respected practice in
  the business world. It is an activity that looks
  outward to find best practice and high
  performance and then measures actual operations
  against those goals."
