At Beyond Benchmarks, we believe that improving your organization starts at the bottom.
Our holistic, “in-the-weeds” approach allows us to immerse ourselves in your organization to gather data and understand workload, challenges and goals.
Together, we can then strategically plan and implement the right tactics to make improvements.
Approach
Our support starts with clearly defining the problem and scoping the activity. This is critical to successful problem solving.
We then guide you toward the best approach, which could include building a strategy, improving processes to save time, or improving your operational structure. This can be an iterative cycle, where time savings can drive staffing changes which ultimately improve the bottom line.
Leaders and their teams are engaged throughout the journey, which drives the highest quality solutions and long-term sustainment.

Case Studies
A Structured Approach to Personal Development – Part 2: Leader Standard Work
Setting the Stage “There just isn’t enough time in the day.” How many times have we heard that sentiment from others or felt it ourselves in our work as leaders? As the pace of change and the type of work we do expands and evolves, we’re naturals at adding more to our plates, but often struggle to delegate or let go of tasks. Is there a rational way to continuously reallocate our time and make certain we’re doing the most important things at the right time? It’s essential to answer this question if we’re going to create enough “white space”
Cafe Redesign
Two cafes with very different challenges followed the same problem solving process to appeal to their customers, improving customer satisfaction and revenue.
A Structured Approach to Personal Development
As the pace of change continues to increase in all dimensions of our lives, so must our work processes and skills as leaders continue to grow and change. Why not take charge of how we work in order to not only keep up with change (reactive), but to drive our own work in the way that it makes us the best Leaders we can be (proactive)?
