Naylor Association Solutions Launches Communications Best Practices Scorecard Using Dynamic Benchmarking
Windham, NH (PRWEB) September 20, 2016 -- Dynamic Benchmarking, a provider of customized online benchmarking and reporting solutions, has added a new facet of functionality to the business communications best practices survey it created for Naylor Association Solutions. The Association Communications Benchmarking Study now adds personalized scorecards that compare an association’s communication activities to industry-established best practices as an additional means of identifying areas of excellence and deficit for its participants.
A provider of content strategy, print, digital, video, career, learning, association management software (AMS) and event management solutions to the association market, Naylor moved its communications benchmarking study to the Dynamic Benchmarking platform last year. The ease of use and ability to generate customized, peer-to-peer comparisons was well received by the company’s customer base. Seeing the potential to make a substantial impact on the association industry’s communications practices, the Naylor team decided to add a new level of functionality to their benchmarking tool.
“The ability to provide our customers with a tangible means of comparing individual performance to that of their peers was a great advance over previous studies,” comments Dave Bornmann, Vice President of Marketing for Naylor. “By adding this new functionality, we are able to provide participants with a more meaningful experience and payoff on the time they invest completing the survey.”
To achieve this, Dynamic Benchmarking introduced the Naylor team to their scoring solution which allows users to enter key performance metrics and receive ‘scores‘ or ‘grades’ based on how their efforts measure up against predefined industry standards. Using the vast collection of industry data and the combined industry expertise of the Naylor staff, Dynamic Benchmarking helped form quantifiable best practices standards for various communications programs, strategies and tactics. Now, as users enter their data, they not only have access to more than 250 different dynamically generated, personalized reports, charts and graphs, but they are also presented with a personal scorecard that will grade their performance against these defined industry standards.
“We are excited for our survey participants to not only see how they compare to their peers through the benchmarking platform, but to also give them a chance to see how they perform against industry best practices through the new scoring platform,” Bornmann adds. “Now participants can see their own score, the median score and the best practices score all at once. They can readily see areas for improvement and determine the extent to which they are lagging behind their peers and the industry as a whole. Armed with this performance information, associations can initiate conversations within their organizations to begin enhancing their overall communications effectiveness.
