Benchmarking can help directors test assumptions, identify emerging risks and understand performance in context. Used well, it strengthens oversight and supports sharper strategic decisions. Used poorly, it can distort priorities and create a false sense of certainty.

In this practical webinar, The Hon Bruce Billson, leading SME 'champion', will explore how directors can use benchmarking to extract greater value from comparative data. Drawing on real-world examples, he will examine what makes a benchmark meaningful, how to interpret variances, and where benchmarking can support stronger governance and organisational resilience.

Participants will explore:

  • How to identify meaningful measures and avoid misleading comparisons 
  • How comparative data can reveal opportunities, vulnerabilities and emerging risks. 
  • Ways comparative insight can inform strategy, investment decisions and organisational resilience 
  • Examples of effective and ineffective benchmarking in the boardroom. 
  • Questions directors should ask when performance differs from expectations or peers. 

The session will combine expert insights, practical examples and audience discussion to help directors move beyond asking, “How do we compare?” to the more important governance question: “What does this mean for our organisation, and what should we do next?
