It’s that time of year when the sun starts to peek through more often, flowers bloom and trees start to bud. The Dynamic Benchmarking team has been enjoying the fresh, warmer air as they give back to the community while getting out and about to meet more new clients and prospects.
You’ve invested plenty into your benchmarking. It’s only natural that you want to see a return, some kind of indication that it was time and money well spent, but how do you measure success in benchmarking? How do you determine if you’ve achieved a reasonable return on your investment and more importantly, how do you ensure your success in the first place?
Dynamic Benchmarking is proud to announce the launch of the DB Hive, a place where our customers can come together to share ideas and resources for improving the performance of their benchmarking studies. The DB Hive was developed based on feedback from our customers who were looking for ways to connect with others who use the Dynamic Benchmarking platform to enhance member engagement and collect industry data.
“We want to provide a means to bring our customers together to share both the challenges and successes they’ve had developing and maintaining their benchmarking studies” says Sally Greene, Dynamic Benchmarking Project Manager. “By sharing their stories and strategies, it is our hope that they can learn from each other.”
A series of webinars and roundtable discussions, the first DB Hive webinar was held on March 8th and featured three of our customers speaking about their experiences with the DB platform.
Stay tuned for future announcements about the next webinar in the series and be sure to reach out to us if you’d like to see a recording of the inaugural webinar.
We’ve been hard at work this month making connections, bringing on new customers and putting the final touches on one of our most exciting projects to date!
Member engagement is the holy grail of association success. A highly engaged member base leads to greater member satisfaction which in turn leads to higher retention rates. Unfortunately, creating opportunities for positive and relevant member engagement is not always easy, even when it comes to clearly valuable member benefits like benchmarking. Convincing busy professionals to set aside time to collect and submit data has long been a challenge for associations. Even once that hurdle has been cleared, finding ways to share that data in a way that encourages members to engage with each other can still be difficult. Dynamic Benchmarking Chief Operating Officer, Betsy Delfosse, shares some tips for overcoming these challenges.

January has been a very busy month as numerous Dynamic Benchmarking customers have launched data collection for their studies. We’re also in the midst of planning for a busy year filled with events and are proud to announce our first new contract of 2017.
It’s the time of year when energies are high and attitudes are positive, all charged with a renewed focus on fresh starts and resolutions to make this year THE year. What organization doesn’t want to be more effective? More impactful? Who doesn’t want to do better? Looking for ways to improve upon past performance is the keystone of strategic planning for most organizations. Making sure to include your benchmarking studies in your goals can be very effective in improving the data quality, participation rates and user engagement with your benchmarking studies, and should become an integral part of your benchmarking process.
