The first edition of Benchmarking in the Public and Nonprofit
Sectors offered public officials and administrators at all
levels of government a unique and practical guide to identifying
best practices and implementing them in their organizations. Based
on the most current research, this new edition of the best-selling
guide provides an updated, solution-driven methodology for
benchmarking in both the public and nonprofit sectors. Unique in
its focus solely on benchmarking, the authors take a step-by-step
approach to two benchmarking techniques, differentiating between
the two and then providing a new approach to solution-driven
benchmarking that requires less time and fewer resources.
Benchmarking in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors provides new tools, many updated case studies, and additional examples not only from government and nonprofit agencies, but also from the international community. This important resource will help practitioners implement a quick, proven method as they search for solutions to their most pressing problems.
