  Program Benchmarking
Questions

In early May we requested our PA members to answer four “one-click” questions to determine interest in a program operations benchmarking study.

If you did not have the opportunity to provide your feedback, here is one more opportunity.

This is not the Program Business Study. The benchmarking study would be a quantitative measurement of key PA areas of performance. Benchmarks would include profit margin, revenue per employee, and key expense items as a percentage of revenues like systems, marketing, sales and payroll. The study would be conducted by a third party vendor with strict confidentiality protocols.
