Global Benchmarking Network

The Global Benchmarking Network (GBN) is a premier international alliance of benchmarking centers, research institutes, and organizations committed to driving excellence through benchmarking, best practice sharing, and performance improvement. Founded in 1994 by leading institutions from Germany, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States, GBN has since grown into a global platform, connecting benchmarking ambassadors from over 25 countries. The network serves as a central hub for professionals and organizations striving to learn, grow, and lead through continuous improvement. Benchmarking—the practice of learning from the experience and success of others—is a powerful tool for generating breakthrough ideas, fostering innovation, and achieving exceptional performance. It remains one of the most effective and widely used methods for organizational improvement and strategic development. For over two decades, GBN has played a vital role in advancing the use and impact of benchmarking worldwide—empowering organizations across sectors to reach new levels of excellence.
