The Benchmarking Book: Best practice for quality managers and practitioners by Tim Stapenhurst See this book on Amazon »
Tim Stapenhurst chronicles the value of benchmarking for operational efficiency and process improvement in organizations of all sizes. He details the role of benchmarking in setting goals and measuring performance. His case study on IT benchmarking follows Caleb Masland and IMF through an engagement approach with Citigroup that has netted millions in cost savings.
About the Information Management Forum:
IMF is a members-only, peer-driven, knowledge sharing organization for senior IT executives. The members share ideas, insights and solutions in an open and candid environment.
IMF began in New York City in 1975 when five IT executives got together over breakfast to share experiences and insights. They looked to each other to provide a ‘reality check’ to what they were hearing from vendors and consultants, and to help each other make informed decisions regarding the practical challenges they faced as executives in the rapidly changing field of IT.
While the group has grown and evolved over the past 30 years, our core mission has remained the same – to provide a sanctuary for CIOs and their organizations to learn from each other by sharing first-hand, real-world experiences.
IMF continues to provide our member organizations opportunities to:
Unlimited access to thousands of unbiased IT experts
Build strong professional networks at all levels
Learn best practices, what worked and what didn’t
Our international benchmarking company, Global Information Partners, was founded in 2001 and is a market leader in highly customized IT benchmarking based strategic management consulting for IT organizations across industries and size.
The IMF Mission Statement:
The Information Management Forum is the best source for unbiased, shared information in IT. We provide the highest quality personal service for a select group of members and work to be the best value in their IT budget.
