How Do You Compare? gives analysts and strategy professionals a practical grounding in industry benchmarking, moving beyond generic comparisons to a rigorous methodology for selecting the right peer set and drawing fair conclusions from it. Benchmarking done badly produces misleading conclusions; done well, it is one of the most persuasive tools in a strategy or performance conversation. Delegates
