Easier Benchmarking: The Process Clasification Model

Ever needed a complete list of processes that an entire IT Services Division or complete Business could ever need to implement for the benefit of their Customers? Ever required cross-industry standard clasifications to enable easier benchmarking comparisons?

Well, today Dr. ITIL provides you with direct access to the Process Clasification Framework (PCF).

The PCF was developed by APQC (www.apqc.org) and member companies as an open standard to facilitate improvement through process management and benchmarking regardless of industry, size, or geography.


THE FRAMEWORK FOR PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Experience shows that benchmarking’s potential to drive dramatic improvement lies squarely in making out-of-the-box comparisons and searching for insights not typically found within intra-industry paradigms.

To enable this beneficial benchmarking, the APQC Process Classification FrameworkSM (PCF) serves as a high-level, industry-neutral enterprise model that allows organizations to see their activities from a cross-industry process viewpoint.

The PCF organizes operating and management processes into 12 enterprise-level categories, including process groups and over 1,500 processes and associated activities.

The PCF and associated measures and benchmarking surveys are available for download and completion at no charge at:-
