This 60-minute workshop aims to educate and empower designers, it covers:

• What benchmarking is,
• Different approaches to benchmarking and how it can be used to help communicate the value of design, and
• Benchmarking to avoid detached quantification.

Attendees will understand the theory, learn from some case studies and get a chance to identify an experience that could benefit from benchmarking and develop their own research plan. 
You'll leave with a clear understanding of the compelling business case for benchmarking and you'll be inspired to run your next study.
