Best practice benchmark
In the project activity “Development of Benchmarking Cases,” a case study interview guide was designed based on the literature review and theoretical basis of Output 1.
Successful practice case companies were then selected based on various sampling criteria (e.g., size, industry, purchasing maturity), including multinational corporations, small and medium-sized companies, as well as associations and consultancies. Visiting these companies, next to the literature know-how acquired in IO1, possibly missing skills already established in practice training programs were added.
The results of intellectual output 2 are presented in a white paper that can be downloaded here.
