The GBN has recently created a new website to solely promote the Global Benchmarking Award, www.globalbenchmarkingaward.com.

The Global Benchmarking Award encourages organizations to share how benchmarking (comparing and learning from others) is an integral part of their improvement and innovation drive.

Entering the award is easy. It requires a short written application of the organization’s benchmarking approach and systems followed by an 8-minute presentation at the GBN’s  International Benchmarking Conference.

The Global Benchmarking Network (GBN) launched the Global Benchmarking Award in 2012 with the winner being Watson Real Estate (New Zealand). In 2013 the winner was the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (United Arab Emirates) and in 2014 was the award winner OCBC Bank (Singapore). Videos of these award-winning organizations are shown on the award website.
