title: Using benchmarking to identify standards for restructuring.
abstract: Benchmarking is a process of comparing an organization's performance to that of a selected standard. Because the standard is one selected from other organizations for their "best" performance, benchmarking establishes a vision or goal for restructuring. This author, who is experienced in helping organizations restructure using the benchmarking process describes the steps and how to use it to guide an organization to successful restructuring.
